Trek korea

Summary
From the fortress walls of Seoul to the wild ridgelines of Jirisan, Trek Korea takes you the length of the country on some of its finest walking trails. Across nine unforgettable days, you'll move between two very different worlds. The layered history and skyline views of the capital, and the deep, forested calm of Korea's spiritual mountain, with the wetlands of Suncheonman as a gentle finale.
This is a journey built on variety. Expect a rewarding mix of urban hiking, granite ascents, and longer days on the Jirisan Dulle-gil, with distances up to 24 km and some genuinely challenging terrain. Each day is fully supported by an English-speaking guide, a medic, and the pace shifts deliberately between demanding climbs and relaxed forest walking, so there's always time to take in the surroundings.
Beyond the trails, there's temple stays at Ssanggyesa and Hwaeomsa, traditional meals from Sotbap hot pot to temple cuisine, and a hands-on commitment to the landscape through daily plogging. With granite peaks, ancient trails, and warm mountain hospitality, this is a trekking adventure that stays with you long after the final summit.
All of our challenges are accessible to most people. A moderate challenge has been scored 3 out of 5 when considering distance, elevation gain, max altitude, environment, and terrain. A moderate challenge could have some categories at achievable level with one or two categories classed as testing or tough.
