Longest walkable distance on earth which no one is known to have completed

Walking and hiking can be quite an enjoyable hobby for some, but it seems no one has even attempted to accomplish the longest walkable distance on the planet.

You might go for the odd walk round your block or through the park to get your legs working and blood flowing, but one walkable journey could just about take everything out of you.

Admittedly, it is the longest possible walking journey on the Earth, so it is expected to be arduous and it certainly is.

The route spans from South Africa all the way Eastern Russia.

Hiking across arid deserts and frozen wastelands, only the brave would venture on this path less travelled.

For those considering the ambitious hike, you’ll need to begin in the port of Magadan in Russia and finish in sunny Cape Town – having walked nearly 22,387km.

However, you’ll need to save up your vacation days as the route will take an estimated 187 days or roughly 4,800 hours of non-stop walking to complete the journey.

Even if you were to forgo all sleep and toilet breaks, the route would still take most of a year, which is well above the 25 vacation days most people are entitled to.

In addition, the guaranteed only stop you’d get would be along the Suez Canal as you take a ferry to the waterway and enjoy a short rest after non-stop travel.

As well as getting the green light from your boss, you’ll need to bring an extensive wardrobe as well as a valid passport as you cross through 17 countries - all with their own climate and difficult terrain.

Unsurprisingly, no one has yet to complete the hike which is the equivalent of walking up Mount Everest 13 times.

Whilst you may gain lifelong bragging rights and an incredible story after completing the route, we wouldn’t recommend it.

As well as getting weary legs, the trip enters into some of the most dangerous territories in the world.

In addition to this, many of the regions you would be walking through are less than favorable.

For example, South Sudan had been in the grip of a civil war up until 2020, so hardly pleasant conditions as they attempt to heal from the conflict.

Not to mention the journey begins in Russia, which invaded Ukraine last year.

So even if you do fancy yourself quite the hiker, might be best to give this a miss.
