Earth is full of unexplored places. People have often gone to faraway places in search of adventure. There is one place that is yet to be fully explored. We are talking about the longest walkable distance from Cape Town in South Africa to the port town of Magadan on the eastern side of Russia. It is yet to be scaled by humans. No person has ever completed this long walk, as per media reports. The netizens also call it a ‘potential longest walkable road’. According to a report in Outlook, this route passes through 17 countries, crossing many mountains and deserts. The distance between the two destinations is 22,387 km. You can reduce the hard work by taking a boat across the black to save some seconds. It will last for 21,779 kilometres.
Passengers can travel via Africa, and cross the Suez Canal via Turkey, Central Asia, and then to Siberia to Russia. Travellers have to travel through various countries under different time zones and weather.
If you set out on this journey on foot, you will have to walk continuously for 4,492 hours. Without breaks, the time accumulates to 187 days. If you are walking 8 hours a day, it will take 562 days to complete. At this time span, if you wish, you can conquer the world’s highest peak Mount Everest 13 times and return.
Food, drink, and rest are other necessities that are required by an individual to complete this journey. This route passes through conflicted countries like South Sudan and Syria, which are under war. You will need a visa to visit many countries which you could cover on foot. Even if you overcome these, natural obstacles will be ready to welcome you. The scorching heat of the Sahara Desert, the snow of Siberia, and the malaria mosquitoes of Africa will make your journey a true adventure. You will need to carry a lot of shoes as they will wear out quickly. You cannot use Google Maps for this route. A traveller must have strong survival skills and good immunity for the body to sustain the changing temperatures.
