How we estimate the budget
Every plan is for two people sharing a double room for 6 nights and 7 days. We add the nightly hotel price using the hotel levels our trip planner uses (smart value under about USD 80 a night, comfort 80 to 180, premium 180 to 400, luxury over 400), then food per day, transport within the country including domestic flights, activities and eSIM data. Each plan lists its sources with the date we checked them.
