Why take this tour?
Few travellers get the chance to explore Korea’s folklore of funerals and tombs, but those who do often speak of its impressive beauty. For this exclusive hiking tour, we will journey through a vast mountain cemetery, unearthing sites and culture seldom seen by tourists. The hike is led by folklorist and podcaster Shawn Morrissey.
Hikers have an option to join Shawn and the group after the tour for some good ol' Korean fried chicken and beer to discuss more aspects of Korean folklore.
This is a seasonal tour that only runs through April and May, so don’t miss out – join us today!
