Kalbawi Ridge: Where Your Legs Cry but Your Soul Cheers

#summervacay Alright, so Kalbawi Ridge in Bukhansan? Total game-changer. I wasn't even planning on dying on a Tuesday morning, but that incline had other ideas. 😂 The hike starts off kinda chill, then BOOM, stairs, rocks, ropes, and some “what-am-I-doing-with-my-life” moments. But oh man, the views. Unreal. Once you hit that ridge, you feel like you're standing on the spine of a giant dragon just chilling over Seoul. It’s narrow in parts (hello adrenaline), but the breeze and the endless mountains make it all worth it. Wear grippy shoes. Bring snacks. Hydrate or die-drate. And mentally prepare to use all fours at times. Totally not a beginner hike, but if you love a little challenge and a whole lot of reward, this place delivers. Bonus: tons of friendly hikers who will 100% cheer you on when you look like you're about to give up. Absolute gem. 11/10 would suffer again.
