source: visitbusan
Step into a spiritual journey with “Templekking,” a fusion of temple tours and trekking that brings you closer to nature. Launched by Busan City and the Busan Tourism Organization, this immersive program offers a creative way to experience Korean cultural heritage by combining temple visits with trekking through surrounding mountains.
From September to November, participants can join the program on a date of their choice and enjoy a meaningful experience at Beomeosa Temple, the third-largest temple in Korea.
The program is designed as an active, mission-style adventure, offering three trekking routes tailored to different fitness levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. While trekking, participants are encouraged to complete a special mission: Capture nature sounds using directional microphones. Those recordings are later provided to each participant as a personal audio file, preserving their unique experience.
The revitalizing trek is followed by a wholesome temple meal, featuring simple yet satisfying vegetarian dishes. All participants will also receive a small souvenir to commemorate their visit.
To participate, pre-registration is required and will open on Aug. 1. Each session accommodates up to 40 participants. If fewer than 15 people register, a session may be canceled.
Why not spend a peaceful autumn day at Beomeosa Temple, where you can tune into the sounds of nature and find inner calm through mindful movement?
