11 Weeks In SE Asia

Advertisement
I had posted before with no idea where to go and have calculated that I have 11 weeks and not 10.... I now have a plan that I would like to share and see what people think! Is there anything I should add or take away and any idea how long I should stay in each place?! Thanks (my Spelling may not be very accurate)

Thanks for your comments....

I will be going to Bali after I've done this stretch of the tour.

I was just curious to know if what I'm thinking of doing is going to be ok?! Reply to this

it seems a little bit much for 11 weeks, i'm planning a similar trip for next spring, and i have not included so many destinations in those 4 countries, but i really dont know, since i havent been there yet😊 well, it all depends on how long you are going to stay each place, and if you travel by night you will be able to see more.

wow that is a lot to see in 11 weeks, you might want to skip some smaller random places, you never know if you'll end up loving one city and only being able to stay there for a day or 2, its always nice to be able to be flexible when you travel.. thats one of the joys of travelling.. take it easy, relax and enjoy! dont rush!

It's a good start to have an idea where you want to go but i would recommend not turning it into a fixed itinerary. the beauty of having 11 weeks is that you might get to one of those places and end up spending a couple of weeks there. I find that I need to stop and smell the roses for about a week every 4-6 weeks or I get travel jaded.
always factor in one day for every travel leg, even if you're flying between destinations.
your list is a pretty comprehensive, well travelled backpacker route, you shouldn't have any trouble hooking up with others on your trip. Enjoy Reply to this
