💡 Good to know for this plan
- The drier months give the best weather margin, but the national fuel, power, payment and transport disruption is not seasonal. Reconfirm every service, flight and road leg immediately before travel.
- Heavy transit: day 3 (7h09) runs over 6 hours in transit. Around 6 days would keep daily travel comfortable on this route — or keep the dates and start each of those days by 08:00.
