Climbing Mt Seorak in Korea

[driveanegg]

Thanks for everyone who have commented and given assistance !
Happy to be back in one piece. Very nice and enjoyable scenery.

Will be uploading pictures in a separate thread, with a short discussion on itinerary planning.
Uploading speed will be slow over a couple of months.... need to deal with real work first :bsmilie:

Thank you !!

Welcome back! How was the trip? Hope you enjoyed yourself
Take your time with the photos. I understand the pain of going through all of them. I had the same experience in a recent trip where I took too many

Hi, Guys, I just returned from Korea too. Spend two days in seorak mountain instead of three days. Wish I could have more time exploring there. Totally beautiful fall. The palaces in Seoul are very impressive too. Will upload some photoes when ready.

Only visit a small portion of seoraksan due to time limit. :dunno: what a pity! Hope to visit there again in the future.

Some photoes seems a bit blur after upload to flickr. Do not know how.:dunno:

Great shots you have there!

How was the trip? Is it easy to get around if I don't know Korean well?

I climbed Hachimantai, Nokogiri and Haguro (all pretty easy except for Hachimantai) alone in Japan this year and got hooked. Hope to climb the famous Seorak next year. So please share more information everyone!

Thanks. Very convenient. Direct bus take only a little more than 2 hours to go to sokcho from seoul. The seats on the bus are very comfortable. We stayed in a motel that is vey close to bus station, mentioned in lonely planet.

There are many hiking routes in seoraksan. We only visited a few that is very close to the popular entrance. Most popular routes are easy to walk. I am sure there are much more challenge routes. If want to go far, must stay in shelters on the mountain overnight. For shutterbugs, the problem is that if you stop too often to take photoes, you will not have enough time to cover long distance before getting dark. Better go out very early and keep time in mind.

I am going to scan some maps and material i gathered for seorak mountain to share information when i am free. Most information can be found on korea national park website though.

BTW, sokcho city and surrounding area also worth exploring. Had two cheap BBQ buffets at a local store near the sea.

Hi bro, Do not say that. I m sure your photoes will show a different perspective. As for PP, I often use curves with masks, highlight/shadow and occasionally hue/saturation. Sometime adjustment of different areas with diffent curves can be very useful.Hope it helps.
