Spend about 14 hours traveling from Seoul to Seoraksan National Park and Sokcho. You get mountain walks, Sinheungsa Temple, a large Buddha statue, an optional cable car, seafood-market time, and a short beach visit. English-speaking guides such as Seo Kangwon may also help with hiking, food, and weather changes.

“Our guide, Kangwon Seo, was amazing! He was so patient with our group's inquisitive questions. He provided us with tips and recommendations for hiking, food and even alternative viewpoints when the weather turned foggy. He was very generous in sharing stories about life in south korea. Seoraksan National Park was absolutely beautiful. We went in November with the autumnal colors in bloom but I think it's worth goint anytime of the year. It is a bit of a drive from Seoul but worth it.”
