💡 Good to know for this plan
- The reviewed public-road baseline uses the cool, comparatively dry June–October season, with current cyclone, rain, road, shore and site checks.
- Light days: day 3, day 5 have one stop and time left over. Local tours and day trips are the way to fill them — each day links to what is bookable in its own town.
