What the map is
A discovery and planning aid built from the same destination records as the guides. Markers are real coordinates; stays are plotted at their destination town, not the property gate, until verified.
What it is not
A live navigation system. It does not model traffic, ferry timetables, monsoon road closures or permit checkpoints. Use official navigation for the final mile.
For remote areas
Forest roads, tribal settlements and pilgrimage routes may be incomplete or restricted. Check with the forest department or a local operator before relying on any map.
Want a practical itinerary rather than a pin? The planner uses these same records to build a day-by-day route with distances, seasons and constraints.
