Take advantage of fall’s mild weather and stunning scenery, and travel with Enjoy Korea for an epic weekend. Start the weekend by exploring the beautiful and peaceful Nami Island, on the Sunday hike in Seoraksan National Park, one of Korea’s most stunnings sights during the fall.

After departing our home cities we’ll make the drive to our first stop of the weekend, Nami Island. To get onto the island itself we’ll take a short ferry ride, which just adds to the excitement. Nami Island is truly magical and unique, it declared its cultural independence from the Republic of Korea naming itself the ‘Naminara Republic. Celebrating music and art, it even has its own currency which you can choose to use. During our visit, the beautiful fall colors of red and orange transform an already stunning setting, the perfect backdrop for an autumnal stroll. You can also explore by bike or the mini tourist train. Enjoy a picnic by the river, or stop into one of the cafes and restaurants throughout the island to grab a coffee or a bite to eat.

After our day on Nami we’ll head to our hotel in Sokcho just outside Seoraksan National Park. Each apartment has 2 separate sleeping rooms, a kitchen and a balcony with views towards Seoraksan. Prices are based on 4 people sharing an apartment (pre-trip we send you a rooming request form where you can choose your roommate requirements such as gender and/or a quiet room. Private rooms and under occupancy rates are available on request). There are lots of restaurants nearby including a craft beer restaurant. It’s also a short cab ride to downtown Sokcho or the beach.

On Sunday we make the short drive to Seoraksan National Park which is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful national parks in Korea and is our favourite place to see Korea’s autumnal colours, it’s simply stunning. There are many beautiful trails to suit all levels with cascading waterfalls, gorgeous trees, and amazing views.

Some of the main attractions in the park are Ulsanbawi peak, Biryong Waterfall and Geumganggul Cave in which a monk actually lives. There is also a cable car which runs to Gwongeumseong Fortress, taking about 10 minutes to ascend to the top. The views are absolutely breathtaking. In addition to the gorgeous nature, there are beautiful temples, and a giant Buddha statue. You’ll have enough time to see the temples, Buddha statue, hike a few trails and ride the cable car if you choose to.

After our escapades on the mountain, we’ll head back to our home cities.

This trip includes:
– Round trip transportation from your city to all stops on the tour
– 1 night stay in a spa hotel in Sokcho (Ondol rooms)
– An English speaking trip leader and all the fun and organisation you’d expect from an Enjoy Korea trip.

Like we said… Epic Weekend!

DEPARTURE INFORMATION

(Subject to change, please check trip itinerary for finalised schedule)
Busan: 8am. Deokcheon subway station.

Daegu: 9am. Daegu Grand Park subway station

Seoul: 9.30am. Sanggal subway station (K238 Bundang Line). Please note to avoid the extremely busy traffic Seoul experiences during the fall period we are including a rail ticket to the station near Nami Island in the tour price where the Enjoy Korea tour bus will meet you. This helps you to avoid potentially sitting in traffic in for hours instead of enjoying your time on the island. For this reason, the tour costs an extra 15,000krw compared to departing from Daegu for example.
