Lunch under the Fall Foliage

#fallingforfall There are a few Korean restaurants and cafes around Seoraksan National Park. As we are at Seoraksan till 3pm, we decided to have our lunch outdoors under the colourful fall foliage. Lunch for me was the Banquet noodles (Janchi-guksu), which is a simple warm and savory noodle soup. Simply a perfect meal for me during the cold weather in autumn. It's called Banquet/Festival noodles as the wheat noodles soup is usually served during celebration occasions such as weddings & birthday celebrations (60th years old). We had also ordered a bibimbap, which is a Korean mixed rice dish with vegetables. Some banchan (vegetables side dishes) were also given with our lunch meals.

A hike to admire the fall foliage in the ⛰

We took cable car and try the 2.4km hike and the view is so fantastic. Seoraksan National Park has always been a place to admire the fall foliage in the trees on the mountain. I have never seem so many shades of 🍂 colours before. There are many peaks that can be seen and different hiking trails (from easy to challenging) to suit your style. I love how close we are to the mountain and the fresh pure mountain air here. There are some small lakes and streams along the hike. So do take your time to go slow and enjoy the nature. If you are not sure how to get here, there is some travel agent running day tour to this mountain too. #fallingforfall

Day trip to Seoraksan National Park

#fallingforfall One of the most popular & famous fall foliage locations, Seoraksan Mountain is located at the eastern side of Seoul / South Korea near Sokcho. It's quite a long journey of around 3.5hours from Seoul and the fall foliage had yet to reach the peak when I was there. Even so, the fall foliage was still stunning and beautiful at certain parts of the national park. There's quite a lot of people to view the fall foliage even though it's a weekday. We walked quite a lot around the national park but due to the lack of time, we are only able to cover a small part. I would recommend to come around 20+ October ( a few more days time) to see the full peak season as it will definitely be more beautiful. #scenicspot #southkorea

Beautiful landscapes

Seoraksan is often known as Korea's most beautiful national park as it offers visitors with beautiful landscapes of the surrounding mountains and lush green trees. In the park, which does have an entrance fee, you're truly greeted with greenery that really rests you and offers you a nice break from the fatigues of life. The park itself is huge and there are multiple hiking trails for those keen on getting some exercise done. For the those who want something more relaxing, yet equally breathtaking, try taking the funicular to the top of the mountain. It's quite fun to ride in but it's definitely not for those who have a fear of heights. On clear days, one can have a birds eye view of the entire area, otherwise you'll be in a misty cloud #korea f fog which does also have its own character. Lovely landscapes, nature and a good getaway are what Seoraksan will offer! #park #nature #outdoors #travel #korea

Seoraksan National Park

I will definitely return to Seoraksan National Park if I had the chance to visit South Korea again. This place was absolutely beautiful. There was something for everyone; sightseeing, hiking, eating and shopping. I spent the whole day hiking trails and enjoying the outdoors. Because I came with my family, so we did take the cable car ride to the top as well for some beautiful views of the surrounding area. I would recommend doing that first as the lines will only get longer as the time gets later in the afternoon. The views at Seoraksan left me speechless, so I will let the pictures do the talking! You can also opt for doing the real hiking to Mount Soerak as well, but you might have to stay for one night in the mountain because the hike itself is quite long ⛰🍃🌿⛅️ #nationalpark #urbanexplorer #southkorea

Seoraksan National Park - Simply a test of grit and endurance

What seemed to be a typical day trip to visit the national park had me panting the entire time and aching sore for the next few days. We had originally planned to do an easy hike to visit the national park. It was a very easy hike initially, mostly flat terrains and long walks. As we reached the end of the easy path, we saw the signs up to a cave; we decided to challenge ourselves by extending the hike. Immediately, the terrain changed and it was pure rocks on a steep incline. It was a stark difference from what we had experienced earlier. On the easy terrain, we were able to see many hikers along the way. The hike up to the cave, we barely saw many other hikers. Those we were descending encouraged us to carry on, promising us that the path is a fulfilling one. True enough. What seemed to be a long 2 hours up 600m path with a steep include of almost 70 degrees, we reached an opening which stunned us all. But that was not all! There is, again, a steep stairs up to a small cave barely visible from the bottom. We walked up and viola, it was a breathtaking scene which we made us felt triumph and somewhat comforting that we have took up the challenge to truly finish the course of the hike. After the hike, we tried to search for more details on the hike we took and there weren’t much details on it. We hope this could give a glimpse to the hike. Having hiking sticks is recommended. It definitely helps to make the hike much easier! We will recommend all tourists to visit this spot!

2 day trip to Seoraksan national park, south korea!

We had a brilliant 2 day trip in #seoraksan national park. the park has many trails, all very easily marked, so getting lost is not really an option. also, the park has a #visitorcentre, that will help you choose the course most suited for you. we believe the nicest peak (also portrayed in the first picture) is #ulsanbawi. getting there is easiest by #bus, since you can't really move around the park in a car. we were in June, and the weather was a little hot, but otherwise splendid. #ulsanbawi #south_korea #june2024 #trekking
