What to expect
Agree a pickup with your accommodation or booked provider and check who collects you. During transfers, keep your passport and essentials secure with you, not in checked luggage. Before a long drive, consult SUTRAN's road map and ask the carrier about your exact route. At a blockade, wait or rearrange rather than finding your own way through.
How it fits into a journey
Leave a buffer before an international flight and room for a different hotel or travel day.
