💡 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 7 days would keep daily travel comfortable on this route — or keep the dates and start each of those days by 08:00. Before you go · check live details This is a planning draft. Check these changing details for your dates before booking or travelling.
Some route advice is currently available in English.
Arrange a legal payment plan, enough cash and power/communications backups. Confirm accepted payment with each provider before arrival, bring enough lawful cash for the whole trip and emergencies, and prepare for power, mobile-data, ATM and card disruption. Never rely on one card, one charging method or an informal currency exchange.
