Doekyusan Hike – June 13th

HI ALL~!

We will hike up the beautiful Deokyusan National Park (4th tallest peak in Korea! 1,614 meters high,5,295 feet). The hike takes 2 hours to reach the top where we will watch the sunrise. Then we hike along ridges for about 2 hours. The ridges are truly stunning with views of wide fields and one thousand year old trees. This place can give off a Tim Burton style vibe.

There is a shelter on the top to enjoy more warm noodles or cook some breakfast. After we enjoy some rest, we descend along the ridges to the one thousand year historical temple and the famous 2 hour long forested valley.

*Optional—plus 15,000won paid on the day of the event- 2Hour river rafting and All you can eat BBQ(Veggie BBQ too)

After hiking, we will go rafting in Gyeongho river.
The river flows through the mountains, commanding amazing views as we raft!

After rafting, we will have a riverside BBQ!
We will make bbq fire and cook both meat and vegetable BBQ!

Don’t miss this full of fun-packed exciting hiking trip!
