Korea Coast to Coast Cycling Tour
Summary
This route crosses South Korea from Incheon on the west coast to Sokcho on the east, covering approximately 320 kilometres over five days. The ride moves through central Seoul, along the Bukhangang River, into the mountain province of Gangwon, and over the passes of Seoraksan before descending to the coast. It suits riders who want a structured physical challenge with genuine geographic logic — each day ends somewhere meaningfully different from where it began. A support vehicle carries luggage throughout, and local guides handle logistics at every stage.
Highlights
- Riding the Han River trail through central Seoul, with the city's skyline framing the route on both sides
- The 99-kilometre second day along the Bukhangang River path, with the valley narrowing as urban sprawl gives way to forested hillside
- Lunch beside Soyangho Lake on day three, midway through mountain terrain close to the DMZ
- The sustained climb over Seoraksan on day four — 1,300 metres of elevation gain — followed by a long descent toward the coast
- Arriving in Sokcho at the East Sea having ridden from the West Sea four days earlier
- A final-day choice between a guided walk in Seorak National Park or a vehicle tour along the DMZ

9 Days
ModerateNine days on two wheels from Seoul to Busan, covering coastal headlands, river valleys, pine forests, and the quieter edges of cities most visitors see only from a bus. The riding ranges from 15 to 55 kilometres per day — manageable for regularly active travellers, demanding enough to feel earned. Nights include a glamping stay outside Seoul, a coastal guesthouse in Sokcho, and hotels in Gyeongju and Busan. It is a route for travellers who prefer to cross a country under their own effort rather than see it through a windscreen.
