5.00The park itself is a nice destination and worth the 2,5 hour drive there. You can't see all the park has to offer in the time you are there, but still it was worth it.
Great day

4.00Mt Seorak is very picturesque and you will do a lot of.hiking. Naksana Temple is average and not really worth seeing. If you have mobility issues I wouldn't recommend this trip, as you'll be hiking up tracks and it's quite strenuous. There is also no walking AIDS available to reach the viewing points.
Wonderful countryside.

5.00Good way to see the country without driving. Convenient as well. Guide David was nice and v helpful especially to my elderly mum. We took the cable car at Mt Soerak to enjoy the view while others hike. The naksansa temple is tough for elderly mum. Luckily there is a coffee house for her to rest.
