Why it matters now

The Korea Forest Service has designated November 1–December 15, 2026 as an autumn wildfire caution period; individual trail access should be checked. The site's published November 2025 winter warning also notes that rain or snow can ice the steep slopes. Actual availability of the March–November costume program is unverified.

Why go

Visitors can explore ASEAN-themed lodging and traditional-costume activities. However, the official winter guidance issued November 28, 2025 warns of stairs, steep paths and accessibility challenges for young children, older guests and anyone with mobility limitations. Check current occupancy and date-specific prices for rooms such as Laos and Brunei before booking.
