Description

From the neon skyline of Seoul straight to the ocean beaches of Busan: this four-day cross-country bikepacking tour is a world-class masterpiece of cycling infrastructure. Spanning roughly 530km / 330mi, the route follows the iconic Han and Nakdong River paths—almost entirely car-free on flawless, dedicated tarmac.

Day two serves up a rewarding climb over the 548m Ihwaryeong Pass, while the final stretches deliver spectacular wooden boardwalks cantilevered directly over the water. With around 2,360m of elevation gain, it offers the ultimate balance between a rewarding physical challenge and effortless cycling flow. Forget tedious trail research and endless open browser tabs.
