Randonnée au Mont Bukhan avec spa coréen

Just found this link. I don't remember ever getting an email to rate. I remember this trip fondly. This is an actual hike up the mountain. The large rocks are our stairs. It was strenuous for me. When I got to the Buddha Temple about three fourth way up, I opted to go to the temple instead of hiking up to the summit. The temple was quite a sight! I loved it. The best was yet to come after lunch! I LOVED the Korean style spa! They scrubbed off a layer of my dead skin. My had literally looked younger. Even my husband can tell the difference!

Great hike! The tour guide picked us on time at the hotel. From the beginning to the end of the hike was about 3 hrs included one stop at the temple. I wouldn't recommend this tour to children that is 10 yrs old and under. It was very hot and a lot of bugs/misquotes, so don't forget to bring misquotes sprays, sunblocks, a towel, and a least two bottles of water. Our tour guide didn't say much. Lunch was really good. We skipped the Ginseng part since we weren't into ginseng, which now I regretted that we passed on that part. We wanted to have more time at the massage place. I didn't know that the massage people dropping us off at the hotel otherwise I would have gone to the ginseng place. We paid extra hour for the massage and it was ok. And it was not cheap.

This was an excellent hike! We enjoyed the representative that guided us. The spa experience was wonderful. . . Especially enjoyed the exfoliation and soaking in the warm water. Great rejuvenation after the hike.

Loved the hike to Mt Bukhan, terrific guide who was very knowledgeable and entertaining! We had a delicious lunch at the end of the hike - fabulous day! Was not as keen with the Korean spa as it was inside a building - thought mistakenly that it would outdoors.....spa was not really my cup of tea.....next time will try an all-day hike!

The hike was really good, our guide, chance, was really chatty which made the whole thing more interesting. The top of the mountain has quite a view. The only think i would chance about this tour would be the spa. After the lunch we were taken into this underground foreigner only spa. Included on the tour was body scrub and cucumber facial and sauna, but they will reccommend other more expensive stuff to do it actually amounted to 250 dollars. So i took it. It was a just a massage and face pack. The massage was really painful, and the face pack i didnt enjoy as i just my eyelashes done so i was worried about them breaking it. I wish i didnt take that extra course. Also, they talk in japanese to me. Also, i was naked the entire time in the spa and the staff were just there sitting chatting one was even brushing her teeth. I was walking in between their chairs naked while they were chatting. That ws very awkward for me. I wish they would take the talking /meeting/gossiping outside. Also during massage, i was never able to relax as my masseur was talking with someone very loud the entire time. The staffs in the spa need to learn professionalism and customer service.
