On this vast planet, there are many unexplored areas that humans have yet to explore. The earth is vast and full of adventures. People have travelled to many faraway places, but there is one faraway place that has yet to be reached. The longest walkable distance, from Cape Town in South Africa to Magadan on Russia's eastern coast, has yet to be discovered. No human has ever taken such a long walk. The distance between these two points is 22,387 kilometres. It is designed in such a way that no flights, ferries, or boats are required. The route consists entirely of roads and bridges.
Passengers can travel from Africa to the Suez Canal via Turkey, Central Asia, and Russia via Siberia. Travellers will cross 17 countries and six time zones, taking into account all seasons and weather conditions.
If you walk continuously without stopping, you can complete the walk in 187 days and 4,492 hours. If you walk 8 hours per day, it will take 562 days to complete. It will take at least three years for a person to complete the journey. This longest walkable road journey is often compared to climbing Mount Everest 13 times.

As interesting as this sounds, until now, no human has dared to venture on such trips. This walk can be a bit dangerous and some areas fall under the conflicted regions in the world. Not just this, even visa restrictions are a major drawback here. A traveller must have strong survival skills and good immunity for the body to sustain the changing temperatures.
This route has been shared by a Reddit user, long ago, under ‘The Potential Longest Walkable Road’. The post went viral.
