On the way to we only drove like 100km before stopping and making a camp. That first part takes forever because it is mostly in the mountains and we have only 8 horsepower. Mostly I don't like driving from 10am to 3 or 4pm because the front of the tuk is all windshield, making it a bit like driving a solar oven.
We're hoping to leave at 5am-ish so that we can be close to home when I start getting roasted by the sun. In a perfect world with no fuel stops, a lead foot, and no cargo, I could do the journey in 7 hours. We actually have a washing machine, motorbike and kilos and kilos of whole wheat chapati flour in the tuk-tuk, so the last 100km mountain climb will likely be in 2nd gear moving about 20 km/hr, definitely not gonna be a 7-hour drive back, will probably be many powernaps, snacks and pee stops.
Sounds like great way to bond with the family and learn the landscape of your country. Of course it's also great content for the community.
I can imagine the reaction of people in the city when you have conversations with them about your journey.
