Description
Escape the crowds and explore one of Bukhansan’s best-kept secrets with a local guide. This beginner-friendly trail winds through forest paths and valleys, ending with a delicious local Korean meal.
Discover the quieter side of Bukhansan National Park on this 2-hour round-trip hike, led by a local hiking enthusiast. Starting from the lesser-known Hidden Wall (Sumeunbyeok) trail, this route offers peaceful forest paths and beautiful mountain views without the busy crowds.
The trail is suitable for beginners with moderate fitness and offers plenty of chances to stop, take photos, and enjoy nature. After reaching the scenic viewpoint, we’ll take a short rest before heading back down along a valley trail. If there is water flowing, we’ll take a break by the stream to cool off and soak in the atmosphere.
To complete the experience, we’ll enjoy a hearty, homemade Korean meal at a small local restaurant run by a Korean grandmother—an authentic way to end your hiking day.
This is more than just a hike—it’s a chance to connect with nature, experience Korean hospitality, and discover a hidden side of Seoul that most tourists miss.
