In Parshat Behaalotcha (Bamidbar 9:9-13), we read about those who are granted the opportunity to observe Pesach Sheni:

God spoke to Moshe saying: “Speak to B’nai Yisrael, saying: Any person, if he will be impure from a human corpse or is on a distant journey, whether among yourselves or for your descendants, he shall perform the Pesach offering for HaShem in the second month, on the fourteenth day, in the afternoon, he shall perform it; with matzot and maror (bitter herbs) they shall eat it…”

The Mishna in Pesachim 93b asks how we would define a distant journey that would exempt someone from observing the first Pesach.

According to Rabbi Akiva, a distant journey is anywhere from the city of Modi’im and beyond or a like distance in any direction.
