Jejudo Nokkome Oreum / 4 hours
Tour Features
- Nokkome Oreum Trekking
Jeju (- - -) 50km
Located about 23km southwest of Jeju city, a large Nokkome (833.8m) with a base girth of 4,3km and a small Nokkome (744m) with a base girth of 3.1km sit as a pair next by each other. The two mountains stand in high spirits and its exploded crater area is enough to thrill your eyes. The area is a home to endangered animals including birds such as goshawk, brown-eared bulbul, kestrel, bush warbler and red-tongue pit-viper, takydromus wolteri and others. Also there are 112 families and 469 species of plants e.g. nutmeg tree or hornbeam.
Starting out at the base of the Oreum, you will enjoy an overall well over two hours round trip hiking up to the both peaks including time to take in the scenery. The small Nokkomeoreum trail leads easily with a minor gradient up from a car park. Then the trail becomes progressively steeper towards the top of the large Nokkomeoreum. The climbing is steep, slippery and the ropes are of much use. But, the views from the top are incredible.
