Kakao Maps route for every riding day

This is what makes the guide different.

Every single riding day has its own clickable Kakao Maps route.

Tap the link inside your PDF → open the route on your phone → mount your phone to your bike → follow your planned route.

Instead of trying to work out the route each morning, it’s already mapped for you.

Complete day-by-day plan

Know exactly how far you’re riding and where you’re heading each day.

Your itinerary breaks the entire journey into manageable daily stages based on the difficulty level you’ve chosen.

Every overnight stop planned

Know where each day’s ride finishes before you leave.

We’ve identified the overnight towns for every itinerary, including where it makes sense to stay two nights and take a rest day.

That means you can plan accommodation around your route rather than trying to work it out after a long day of cycling.

Direct or All Stamps — you decide

Want the full Korean cycling certification experience?

Choose All Stamps and follow the longer itinerary designed around collecting every required certification stamp.

More interested in getting across Korea efficiently?

Choose Direct and take the faster route towards Busan without the additional distance required to collect every stamp.

You receive both options — so you don’t have to decide before buying.

Getting to the official start

Your guide also explains how to reach the starting area with your bicycle, including practical information for travelling with a folded, boxed or assembled bike on the Airport Railroad Line.

Side-by-side route comparison

Not sure which itinerary is right for you?

The guide includes a simple comparison of all four routes, including total days, total distance, longest riding day, difficulty, stamp coverage and who each route is designed for.

Choose your route before you start — or change your plans during the journey.

Real routes from someone who has ridden them

These aren’t routes created by looking at a map from a desk.

The distances, overnight stops and route information were provided by a friend of MyKoreanTrip who has personally ridden the entire network, and are shared with his permission.

We’ve turned that experience into four easy-to-follow itineraries so you can spend less time planning and more time riding.

Take it with you

Your guide is delivered as an instant-download PDF designed for both mobile and print.

Save it to your phone before setting off and you’ll have your itinerary, daily stages and Kakao Maps links together in one place.
