It was a ridiculous endeavor I should tell in addition to a wasted effort.
This was my kickoff fourth dimension visiting Mount Seorak in addition to the thought was to larn amongst my brother; Am, my distant uncle; Adi in addition to Ayu; no to a greater extent than introduction needed...hehe.
Not to hike but merely to cheque out the possibility of 1 solar daytime trip to Mount Seorak.
I should tell that; Am, Adi in addition to Ayu were my guinea pigs to experiment this crazy attempt.
They are my Charlie "A"ngels = triple A..ahahaha..
My regrets were:
1) I chose a bad solar daytime - Sabbatum (Don't always come upwards during weekend!)
2) I chose a bad flavor - tumble (the prettiest but jam-packed amongst people coming from all over Korea)
3) I should accept stayed 2D1N instead of 1 solar daytime stay
It would hold upwards best if I pass a solar daytime or dark at Sokcho surface area in addition to thus hike my agency upwards to Mount Seorak instead of going upwards amongst cable auto during peak autumn.
*sigh* fruitless attempt.
If you lot are a mount hiking lover; Mount Seorak would hold upwards a corking choice.
Why?
The thought of taking a cable auto to appreciate the awesomeness of Mount Seorak is unthinkable.
I mean..when the limited double-decker that nosotros rode passed past times parts of Mount Seorak; OMG..look at the view!!
It was superbly awesome, what to a greater extent than if you lot hike her!
You should DEFINITELY hike Mount Seorak. No query asked.
How to larn to Mount Seorak?
First, larn to Dong Seoul double-decker terminal which is located close Gangbyeon Subway Station, Line 2, Green.
You won't lady friend the terminal displace it's merely adjacent to the underground station.
Go to whatever counter in addition to asked for Sokcho. (속초).
I paid 16,100won per pax. (rate is every bit Nov, 2012)
I took the earliest underground develop to Gangbyeon Station in addition to got a 9.06am double-decker to Sokcho.
The double-decker companionship promised a journeying of ii hours in addition to 10 minutes..nope..it took us three hours to attain Sokcho.
We had thus much fourth dimension to kill nigh 1 hr in addition to a one-half truly in addition to had our breakfast at the terminal courtesy of Ayu. 고마워!
We had luncheon of seafood stew 매운탕 which was non spicy at all!! Great for Adi but non for me..T_T
Ahh..we met Khairul, some other Malaysian who travelled on his own!! Superb!!
After lunch, nosotros merely walked roughly the pier looking at the fishermen working their as* off ..huhu. The Abai village; where Autumn In My Heart Korean drama was shot was merely roughly the corner but nosotros had limited fourth dimension every bit nosotros had to rush for Mount Seorak.
We walked dorsum to the Sokcho double-decker terminal in addition to waited for local double-decker 7-1 (1,100 won per ride) at the double-decker halt located nigh 2-3 metres away from the terminal.
The local double-decker ride was roughly thirty minutes in addition to Mount Seorak was the final destination.
But....... nosotros couldn't larn to our final stop.
Because...they were thus many people coming to picket the tumble leaf thus nosotros had to walk nigh 1.3km to the primary gate!!
The highlight of our trip was...the ticket for cable auto was sold out past times the fourth dimension nosotros reached the ticket counter. That truly made my day...^____________^
Anyway, because the solar daytime fourth dimension is shorter inwards autumn, nosotros merely had a small-scale picnic close the river in addition to thus took a taxi dorsum to Sokcho double-decker terminal for nigh 13,000 won. The fourth dimension was 6.18pm in addition to nosotros reached DongSeoul double-decker terminal at nigh 9.00pm.
My verdict: If I always larn in 1 trial to a greater extent than to Mount Seorak..I would definitely remain a dark in that location or roughly Sokcho.
