How to Plan a Bikepacking Route

How to plan bikepacking route

Bikepacking routes need more planning than a short local ride. You need to think about distance, elevation, terrain, overnight stops, food, water and how realistic the route is for the time available.

A route planner helps you shape the journey before you set off.

With Kusihhu Route Planner, you can create cycling routes, check distance and elevation, save your plans and export route files for compatible devices and apps.

Start with realistic daily distance

Bikepacking is not just about mileage. Loaded bikes, hills and rough surfaces can make a route more demanding.

Check elevation carefully

Elevation has a big effect on bikepacking. Long climbs can slow progress, especially with luggage.

Save each route

Saving planned routes helps you organize each stage of your trip.

Export route files

GPX and TCX files can help you use planned routes with compatible GPS devices and route apps.

Plan and save your next bikepacking route with Kusihhu Route Planner.
