When is the best time to travel to Korea to see the red and yellow leaves season in 2025?

The hot weather lasts until October, the red and yellow leaf season in Korea this year comes a little later than previous years.

The 2025 autumn foliage forecast for Korea shows that the first leaves will appear and the peak will be later than usual.

The reason is that the temperatures in September and October are higher than expected, so the best time to see the leaves in Korea will fall between late October and early November.
