Is a simple cup of ramyeon worth hiking 1,667ft for?
In Seoul, the answer is a resounding YES.
But there’s a catch: a rumored invasion of “lovebugs” taking over Korea’s mountaintops.

Join me, your Seoul travel mate Seoul Link, on an adventure to a local-favorite hidden gem: Buramsan Mountain (불암산).
We’ll tackle a quick and rewarding trail, hunt for the best pre-hike kimbap, and find out if I can survive the bugs to enjoy the most legendary meal of my life with a breathtaking city view.
This is the authentic Korean hiking experience you won’t find in most travel guides!

✨In this video, you’ll get:
✅ A complete guide to a beautiful, lesser-known Seoul hike (perfect for avoiding crowds!).
✅ The secret to the 1.5-hour round-trip course that’s perfect for any travel itinerary.
✅ Pro tips for hiking in Korea, from what shoes to wear to where you can rent gear for FREE.
✅ The raw, unfiltered truth about the “lovebug” situation on the trails.
✅ The pure bliss of tasting Yukgaejang Cup Ramyeon (육개장 컵라면) and kimbap at the summit. Trust me, it just hits different.

PRO-TIP for Traveling in Korea! Google Maps is often inaccurate for specific locations and hiking trails in South Korea. For the best and most accurate directions, I highly recommend using Naver Map. It’s what all the locals use!
