🇰🇷 Hiking the Yeongsil Trail @ Hallasan
Hallasan is the highest mountain in South Korea, located on Jeju Island. There are a few stunning hiking trails to explore this beautiful volcanic mountain. We chose Yeongsil Trail which is of moderate difficulty level and does not require a permit. The trail leads hikers through lush forests and offers spectacular views of the island and beyond. However it does not lead to the summit and also the crater lake. It was challenging enough for us who did not have proper hiking gears but thankfully we managed to complete the trail in 5.5 hours. Next time I shall challenge the Eorimok Trail which leads to the crater of Hallasan.

The trail from Witse Oreum Shelter to Nambyeok Junction is the last stretch of Yeongsil Trail which is 2.1 km long. Witse Oreum is one of the oreums (parasitic volcanoes) on Hallasan. Nambyeok Junction is located in front of Nambyeok of Donnaeko Trail, where the path to Witse Oreum and the path to Donnaeko area separate. The observatory at Nambyeok Junction offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

We passed by Byeongpungbawi Rock (Folding Screen Rocks) about 1.5 km into the hike. The towering rocks have the appearance of a folding screen and thus are referred to as the 'Folding Scree Rocks. The views of the surrounding mountains on this section of the trail were spectacular!

Hallasan in Autumn
Fancy a one-day hiking challenge? Try hiking Hallasan on Jeju Island. The round trip will take around 10 hours if you are a non-hiker, so start early and wear a pair of good shoes that protect your ankle. The path is mostly rocky and steps can be very steep. The views at the summit are breathtaking, but be prepared to queue for a proof-shot for the certificate of completion. Remember to book your slot if you plan to reach the summit!#hallasan #bucketlistreboot

South Korean tallest mountain
This is for those who like adventure..😉 Few weeks ago, I had a chance to climb Hallasan in Jeju-do which is South Korea tallest mountain. There is two trail that will reach the summit and Baengnokdam Lake, which is Gwaneusma trail and Seongpanak trail. I am lucky to be able to experienced both trail. I went up from Gwaneusma (steep and hard according to local, but for me it was ok) and went down via Seongpanak (easy trail). Most local prefer the other way round and that makes the trail more crowded. That’s why i choose to hike from Gwaneusma and go down via Seongpanak. The whole hike takes about 7 hours. But it depends on one’s fitness. How to get there? I stayed in Seogwipo, so took bus no 281 to Jeju international university and then took bus no 475 to Gwaneusma head trail. Taxi are very expensive in Jeju. So the most affordable transportation is the bus. You can also take a taxi from Jeju international university to Gwaneusma head trail (KRW6500).
For my next trip, i wish i can take my son to London to see Harry Potter film site #2023TravelWish

Scenic hike in Hallasan on Yeongsil trail 2 x
This is a trip in mid March just last week. We arrived at the car park at the beginning of the Yeongsil trail at about 8.30am to a beautiful sight. Light snow is falling down sparsely. We were both exhilarated and stressed at the same time since we didn’t quite expect such weather in Spring. We quickly bought raincoats from the shop at the trail head, get assurance that spikes are not required and get on our way.
The uphill trail started in the forest (though the trees were quite bald since winter is just over) before it opens up into an open air trail. When it opens up, the view is very beautiful.
All the way, the trail is clear and well paved. We just had to keep climbing steps uphill. It was a steep ascent throughout. There were a few stretch where we had to hike on rocks. But they are manageable though my hiking stick definitely helped.
Yeongsil trail does not lead you to the summit of Mt Hallasan. However it is renowned as the shortest yet the best one for its beautiful scenery among those of Hallasan Mountain. We took approximately 2 hour and 30 minutes to get to the end point which is a rest area and also a junction where you can decide on which route to go downhill. It was very cold at the rest point but there were a few shelters and we took our rest and snack there.
We took the same way down as we were too lazy to arrange/get transport from a different end point back to our car.
However, as weather changes were unpredictable in the mountains, the way down presented us with hiking in mist and much colder and stronger wind conditions which were surprising to us since that was near noon time. Going down was relatively easy in comparison. Think we took less than 2 hours.
If you plan to do this hike and is arriving by car, please remember there are two carparks. The 2nd one is the one nearest to the trail head. The first one is 2.4 km away from the 2nd one. And if you arrived too late, and the 2nd car park is full, they will not let you in until the next car comes out.

The Beauty of Hallasan in November
The total trekking distance for Yeongsil Trail is 5.8km, and it takes an average of 5 hours 45 mins to ascend and descend. Yeongsil Trail is one of the ten scenic views of Yeongju and is also home to a beautiful pine forest. Scenery along the trail was amazing and highly recommended. If you are lucky enough you will meet Hallasan roe deer from the closest distance😍
Difficulty Level: A challenging route, at least for me 😬
