Travel: Korea - General

[choonie]

I am also planning for a trip to Seoul. Can I check whether anyone know how to get to mt sorak from Seoul? Is there any local day tour that we can book for Nami island? We are traveling with 2 young kids, aged 7 & 4. Hence hope to reduce too much travelling & transfers. Appreciate any advice.

mt seorak is quite far from seoul, abt 4hrs. if u prefer hassle free & reduce travelling time & transfers, it would be better joining their local tour. maybe u can check with your hotel which tour agencies they can recommend, same for nami island.
but if u prefer to go on your own, for mt seorak, u can take the bus from seoul express bus terminal or dong seoul bus terminal to sokcho, from there take another bus up the mountain.
for nami u can take their shuttle bus from insadong to nami wharf. its abt 2hrs ride. for more info check out their website.

Thanks mummy chia. Looks like it is easier to take their local tour with 2 young kids in tow. Didn’t know that Korea has local tour packages which we can book through the hotel…

Actually its up to individual, I didnt join any local tour & my 2 kids are also around same age as yours. If u dont have budget constraint joining their local tour will be more convenient.
