Rafting and Bungee Jumping

This past weekend I went on a trip through a company called Adventure Korea in order to continue to experience what the country has to offer as well as get out of the city. The trip was exactly what the title says. First a two hour rafting trip on the Hantan river located in Cherwon,Gangwondo which is north eastern most province of South Korea.

The trip was fun and while there was not enough white water in my opinion it was still a very enjoyable time. Throughout the trip the Korean guide in the boats would point out different rock formations that looked like animals as well as play games with the 8-9 people in the raft. The trip was wet and unfortunately I was not able to bring my camera along if I wanted it to survive, so the only pictures I have are ones I was able to take once finished.

The area was beautiful with lush green sheer cliffs on either side of the river and the natural flow of the water cutting its way through the mountains.







After rafting we enjoyed a buffet lunch and drove to a bridge close by that spans the river where there was the option of bungee jumping. Of course i took the opportunity to jump off the bridge 52 meters up (170ft). I always though bungee jumping would be more of a rush than skydiving as I found skydiving peaceful but I found out it was quite similar only much shorter of a duration. Fun nonetheless and something I would definitely do again.
