Get Ready For a Fun Trip- Skate, Win and Eat your way down Hantan river!

Hello everyone!

We hope you`re all fit and healthy in this New Year. Are you ready for an action packed and fun trip to Hantan river?

We plan to go trekking on the frozen Hantan river. This will be an easy 8 km trek, which will take around 4 hours in total. What it lacks in difficulty it makes up for in unique scenery such as the unusual rock formations along both sides of the river and beautiful ice waterfalls. It is a great opportunity to take in Korea's wintertime scenery and have a great day with your VOK friends.

The course is easy, so beginners including children are welcome to join us! You don’t want to miss out on this trip!

***** Activities *****

There are various activities provided by the local Hantan community including traditional games, ice sleds, and making local crafts. It's a great chance to enjoy traditional culture and have fun!

At the end of the hike we will all have a chance to join in on some local games, such as building ice sleds and making local crafts. After that we will all go out for a free bibimbap or noodle dinner at a local spot, before coming back to Seoul.

This will surely be a lot of fun and it is also a great chance to get out of the house and away from the city!
