Description
Escape Seoul for a full-day journey through Seoraksan National Park, Naksansa Temple, and Sokcho Beach. Enjoy dramatic mountain scenery, coastal views, and the atmosphere of Korea's beautiful East Coast.
Seoraksan National Park is one of Korea's most spectacular mountain destinations, famous for its granite peaks, dramatic rock formations, forest trails, and seasonal colors.
Choose a hiking experience and explore the mountain trails on foot. One of the most impressive choices is Ulsanbawi Rock, located deeper inside Seoraksan. It is around 3 km from the main area, offering spectacular mountain scenery for travelers who enjoy a more active experience.
Prefer not to hike? No problem. You can enjoy Seoraksan more easily by taking the cable car, which offers beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding mountains without requiring a long hike. Cable car operation depends on weather and operating conditions. The cable car ticket is not included and can be purchased separately on-site.
Visit historic Naksansa Temple, beautifully located beside the East Sea. Walk through the peaceful temple grounds, admire traditional Korean architecture, and enjoy spectacular coastal views from one of Korea's most scenic temple locations. The combination of mountains, Buddhist heritage, and ocean scenery makes Naksansa a memorable part of the journey.
Continue to Sokcho Beach, one of Korea's popular East Coast beaches. Take a relaxing walk along the coastline, enjoy the sea breeze, and capture beautiful photos with the East Sea as your backdrop.
Sokcho is well known for fresh seafood. During your free time, you can choose a local restaurant and enjoy fresh fish, crab, and other seafood dishes by the coast. Lunch is optional and not included in the tour price. You can choose what you would like to eat and pay directly at the restaurant.
