take a bus no. 7 or 7-1 from entrance of the moutain.
it takes about 30~40 min from mountain to downtown.
take off from Soo-bok tower three-way intersection.(soo-bok-top-sham -guh-ri 수복탑삼거리 ), and then across the road and turn right and walk 10steps and turn left and go 50m then across the road and go ahead 30m more. then you can find a sokcho intercity bus terminal there. it only takes 2 and 30min from Sokcho to Dong Seoul bus terminal.

Hi! May I know how you got back to Seoul from Mt. Seorak? It would be appreciated if you could you give detailed directions.

Hello Jade.I’m Seonmi and am live in Sokcho.
I want to tell you that David is right.
It’s too cold and windy to climb the mountain
but also the white Seorak mountain is so beautiful so, if the weather is nice, it may be a gorgeous hiking.

Hi Jade – you can get to Sokcho from either Dong Seoul or Go-sok bus terminals. I don’t know the bus numbers but when you buy your ticket they should be able to point you in the right direction.

Once you arrive at Sokcho the local bus stop is on the main road just outside the bus station. As you exit the station turn right, walk a short distance (towards to sea) till you meet the main road then it’s on your right. Don’t worry, it’s very easy to find.

Hope you have a good time at Mt Seorak but I imaging it’s going to be bitterly cold at this time of year!

I am going to visit Mt seorak soon, could you advise what which bus you took from Seoul (is it from dong seoul bus terminal?) that reachable 2.5hrs to Sokcho bus terminal?

After that, do you took the local bus 7 or 7-1 opposite the sokcho bus terminal, or it is just outside?

Thanks i need your help! =)

Hi Dave – cool to hear you’ve been there also but sounds like you had even more dangerous weather conditions to deal with!

I’ve not moved to Korea (wish I could) – I was just there for a week on holiday.

Seoraksan is great. i climbed the rock too, but it was in early Feb, on the coldest day of the year (my friends told when i got back to Seoul. my camera literally shut down from the cold, and it was so windy at the top that i couldn’t even stand up. just crawled to the railing, took a pic, and then (when my camera shut down) crawled back to the ladded and got the hell out of there. haha..

are you living in Korea now?
