Reviewed route 3
Northern peaks and coast
A northern mountain-to-sea journey where Inje slows the approach and Sokcho combines Seoraksan, harbor history and the East Sea.
Planning brief
Recommended time: 4–6 days
Transport logic: Express and intercity buses; a car adds flexibility for valleys and passes
Decisions that shape the route
- Public-transport travelers should keep the route simple and avoid stacking remote Inje attractions.
- Drivers must choose a mountain approach based on weather and road conditions, not scenery alone.
- Reserve the clearest Sokcho morning for Seoraksan and keep the harbor as a separate city chapter.
