I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm organizing a ziplining trip this weekend, and there's still plenty of room for you to join us. The weather's supposed to be nice, and the trees we'll be zipping over should be at their peak of fall color perfection. This is also a great opportunity to meet new people and make friends. This will be our second ziplining trip.

The zipline course we're going to is in Mungyeong, 3 hours from Seoul. There are 9 ziplines in this course. Cost is 63,000 won for the full zipline course and round-trip charter bus transportation from Seoul. My group is non-profit, and I don't take a commission (I organize stuff like this as a hobby).

I went to Mungyung and it was a bit of a let down. It gets a bit repetitive and none of the courses offer anything spectacular. Still, some spectacular views are on offer...

Thanks for the feedback!

There are probably better zipline courses in other countries, but so far I've found Zipline Mungyeong to be the best within Korea. I've seen the zipline course at Inje and I thought it looked like child's play compared to Mungyeong (maybe I'm wrong about that?). The zipline over Jumunjin Beach, Gangneung looks nice but short, so better saved for a beach trip than a trip solely dedicated to ziplining. Then there's that zipline to Nami Island, the highest in Korea but also overpriced considering it's just one line, rather than a course.

If you know of a really great zipline course in Korea that's better than Mungyeong, please let me know about it! I'm not being sarcastic. It's totally possible that I've missed an awesome zipline course, and if that's the case, I want to know about it!

I broke my leg and ankle ziplinning in Chiang Mai last year. Fun activity but always get your legs up high when coming into the landing. I cracked my leg on the landing platform. Still recovering.
