Dear CIKers,

This CIK event is in collaboration with Donbong Office of Bukhansan National Park.

During this event, CIKers will experience the beauty of Korean nature, explore traditional temples, and also help to clean our beautiful trails on Donbong mountain.

This is a wonderful opportunity to help keep Mother Nature beautiful while enjoying a hike and the camaraderie of fellow CIKers.

This hike is expected to take about 4 hours and is moderately easy, while teaming up to clean our mountain trails and completing the fun team missions along the way.

2. ​Nature’s Hidden Treasure at Musugol
