DAY-OF PLAN
Gapsa is an active temple on the western side of Gyeryongsan. Worship access, temple programmes, parking and mountain-trail controls do not share one schedule.
The approach from the visitor area to the main temple is a meaningful wooded route. Add only a national-park trail that fits weather, daylight and the final transport.
Do not infer a late service from temple access. Save the exact stop, direction and last useful bus or arrange a taxi before entering a longer trail.
