💡 Good to know for this plan
- ~11.8 hours of daylight in July — the plan keeps days inside a realistic window.
- The reviewed road-and-forest baseline uses the drier January–February and June–September windows, with current road, rain, landslide and forest-access checks.
- Light days: day 1, day 3 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.
