Questions people ask

How do I choose between the 16 Banjar itineraries?

Start from how many nights you have — the cards say it in the corner — then who is going. A first visit with two or three nights takes the classic plan; couples, families and friends have their own; the season plans fit the month you are coming. Every plan is a real trip, and any can be copied and changed.

What does "Copy to my trips" do?

It puts the whole plan — every day and every stop, with our measured drive times — into your own trip on HimLocal, where you can add a night, drop a stop or move a day. The published plan stays as it is; your copy is yours. A free HimLocal account takes a minute.

Are the drive times and prices real?

The minutes between stops come from our own road routing on OpenStreetMap data, and every plan was checked against a daily budget so no day asks more than a day allows. Prices are typical local bands with the date we checked them — operators quote on the day, and nothing here is a booking.
