Dutasan Mountain (두타산)
In every mountain lies a story, waiting to be revealed, like trees that thrive in unexpected places, showing beauty and resilience.
About the mountain
Head over for a weekend away from the busy city of Seoul and visit Dutasan with it’s many wonderful sights. Wind down at a frozen waterfall (well, usually), be amazed to see a naturally occurring Buddha face in stone, or marvel at the formations at Battle Rock, a sight to behold.

Can I sleep on the mountain?
There is a camping site nearby and a small hotel, but you can not sleep on the mountain. There is also a very cool temple stay experience, but for hiking we recommend staying in the nearby town of Dong Hae and travel by car (or bus). They have many airbnb units for short/long term rent.
