1. When to go for Fall Foliage in Korea?

Although October and November are usually the best months, the foliage forecast differs depending on the region. Below is the tour schedule for 4 mountains. This should give you a general idea about the peak foliage period!

Mountain Tour Season Available Tour Days
Odae Oct 10 – Oct 19 Tue, Thu, Sun

Daedun Oct 23 – Nov 4 Mon, Sed, Sat

Travelling time to Autumn foliage mountain from Seoul
Seoul -> Seorak, Odae or Songni mountain: takes 2.5 – 3 hours
Seoul -> Daedun, Deogyu or Naejang mountain takes 3.5-4.5 hours.
*Traveling time on Saturday may take 1-2 hours more, depending on traffic conditions.

Overall, the peak period for viewing perfect fall foliage is not super long. Hence, make sure to plan out your mountain tours in advance!

2. What to bring for hiking the mountain in Fall?

Extra clothes, camera, and sunscreen

At this time of the year, the daily temperature range tends to fluctuate greatly. Temperatures can range from about 10 ℃ – 25 ℃ in October and then 0 ℃ – 15 ℃ as it gets cooler in November. Although it’s best to do a last minute weather check before you start the tour, remember to wear layered clothing! Even if it feels warmer at the bottom of the mountain, it will feel cooler and possibly windier as you go up. Make sure to bring an extra outer garment! Also, you’ll probably need some sunblock 🙂

In addition, don’t forget to bring your camera! You will absolutely want to take pictures of the breathtaking fall foliage scenery.

  • For those of you wondering, Indiway’s one-day mountain tours include not only round-trip transportation from Seoul, but also entrance tickets, breakfast (bread), a bottle of water, and English/Chinese speaking staff.

3. Who can go for hiking mountain in Fall?

Autumn Foliage Mountains - Various Tourists
Various tourists at the Indiway Mountain Foliage Tour 2016

We got many questions about “Children or Elderly tourists can join the tour?”. And the answer is…

Yes! 🙂 Anyone who would love to see nature’s best colorful scenery should definitely join one of these mountain tours. The mountain courses for all 6 of our tours are easy enough for even children and elderly tourists. Although certain parts of some trails (e.g. Daedunsan, Deogyusan) may be a bit more challenging, those parts are completely optional. If you would like to stay on the easy trails, ask the tour operators for guidance.

**Difficulties of hiking for each mountain
– ★(very easy), ★★(easy), ★★★(average difficulty)

★: Naejangsan, Seoraksan, Odaesan, Dukyusan, Songnisan, Daedunsan(with observatory)
★★: Dukyusan
★★★: Daedunsan(with ski-bridge)

Although certain parts of some trails (e.g. Daedunsan, Deogyusan) may be a bit more challenging, those parts are completely optional. If you would like to stay on the easy trails, ask the tour operators for guidance.

However, if you are more adventurous, the tour operators will give you directions and/or a guide map so for more exploration on your own. In any case, you will get plenty of guidance while on the mountain!

4. What to eat near Fall foliage Mountain?

You’ll get to spend a total of about 4 hours on the mountain, including lunch time. This should give you a decent amount of time to enjoy the scenery.

For lunch, you will get to choose from a variety of Korean dishes at a nearby food court. There will be bibimbap, spicy pork stir fry (Jeyuk bokkeum), various stews, and more!

💡 Indiway Tip (1) At Songnisan Mountain and Daedunsan Mountain, we would recommend you to spend more time in the mountain area because there isn’t too much to see near the restaurant area.

💡 Indiway Tip (2) For Muslim visitors, the tour staff can assist a vegetarian menu because there is no Halal restaurant near those Mountain. Just remember to leave a memo during the booking process!

Finally, last but not least …

5. What can see in the mountain in Fall?
1) Daedun Mountain
