Travel: Jiri mountain ~ Piagol

Went to Jirisan (지리산) National park on Sunday with people from work. It also happens to be the first ever designated Korean national park in 1967. This national park is home to the tallest peak in the South Korean peninsula ~ Cheonwangbong (천왕봉) Peak, which is 1,915 meters above sea level. For approximately two weeks in the year, the mountain ranges play host to some of the most spectacular autumn colors in Korea, especially at Piagol valley (피아골).

We did a six hour trek from Nogodan (노고단) to Piagol.

Have a look at the view.





Actually the best part of the whole trip was probably the company. Here are some pictures of the all Korean group I went with.
