▶ Tour Itinerary
Day 1
Seoul → Inje ~194Km / 120mile
Leave the city behind and head east toward Gangwon-do. Enjoy a calm ride along the lakes of Gapyeong and take a short break at the Yangpyeong Service Area, a popular stop for local riders. In Inje, forest roads and clear mountain streams welcome you. Visit the Inje Speedium, a racetrack for motorcycle and car events, or relax in a quiet outdoor hot spring hidden in the woods.
Local Tip:
End your day with a slow ride through the village or catch the sunset from a hillside road—it’s the perfect way to unwind after your first day on the road.
Day 2
Inje → Gangneung ~140km / 86mile
Start your day with a ride over Hangyeryeong Pass, a scenic mountain road connecting Inje and Yangyang. It’s one of Gangwon-do’s top driving routes and a highlight of the tour, offering incredible views of Seoraksan’s dramatic peaks.
When you arrive in Sokcho, don’t miss a visit to Sokcho Central Market. Be sure to try the famous Dakgangjeong (Korean-style sweet and spicy fried chicken) and enjoy a fresh local seafood meal.
As you head south toward Gangneung, take in the open ocean views and feel the refreshing sea breeze along the way. Once in Gangneung, unwind on the city’s clean beaches or take a peaceful walk along the coast.
Local Tip:
For one of the most beautiful spots where mountains meet the sea, visit Yeonggeumjeong Pavilion—especially stunning at sunset.
Day 3
Gangneung → Seoul ~247km / 137mile
Start your final day by crossing Daegwallyeong, a highland area with crisp mountain air and wide-open views.
Make a stop at the Daegwallyeong Sheep Ranch for a unique experience, or visit Woljeongsa Temple in Pyeongchang, nestled quietly in the forest. A walk along its peaceful fir tree trail is a great way to pause before the ride back.
Enjoy the last leg of your journey along calm countryside roads—ending where it all began.
Local Tip:
Drop by Bongpyeong Market for local dishes and a taste of everyday life before returning to Seoul.
