Overview

The 19-Day Highlights of South Korea Biking Tour takes you through Gyeonggi-do, Gangwon-do, Chungcheongbuk-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and Yeongnam, offering a comprehensive exploration of South Korea’s natural and cultural landscapes. The tour begins in Seoul with an in-depth driving and walking tour, followed by a cross-country journey with 12 full days of biking, overnight stops in various cities and towns, and concludes in Busan before returning to Seoul. This in-depth tour ensures a full immersion into the unique culture and fascinating history of South Korea. The tour offers a mix of city life and village life, allowing travellers to experience the vibrant capital of Seoul, explore cultural landmarks like the 7th-century Buddhist temple Beomeosa in Busan, and unwind on the sandy shores of Haeundae beach. The itinerary includes visits to numerous historical and natural sites, such as Seoul Plaza, Cheonggye Square, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Gwangjan Market, the Peace Dam, the World Peace Bell, the Eulji Observatory, the Andong Folk Museum, and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Hahoemaul. The tour is rated as 'Very Hard (5/5)' difficulty, involving 12 full days of biking. The cycling routes include challenging mountain trails, steep passes, undulating hills, and winding roads, as well as some flatter sections and scenic river bikeways. Cyclists should be experienced and accustomed to riding long distances, with awareness required due to traffic on major roads, though the itinerary avoids them whenever possible.
