Hiking Mt. Seorak with a Sherpa
Are you sick of package trip just for taking pictures? In a day, more than hundreds of tourists visit Mt.Seorak but they cannot experience real hiking because the tour program only is organized for taking a walk a little bit and taking pictures. I feel sorry about that because you should hike to see & experince real beauty of Mt.Seorak. That's why I want to open this tour. I worked near Mt.seorak before, so I know about the courses well and I also can customize whichever courses you want to hike. (Normally, we will hike Ulsanbawi Rock course which is representative place of Mt.Seorak.) As I mentioned before, I am ski instructor & tour guide, so I am good at managing outdoor activities and certified in first aid. I will pick you up at Seoul, drive you to Mt.Seorak, hike together and drive you back to Seoul. ( Literally, we may say it is A to Z tour.) Be more active! Get more special experience!
