Overall Recommendation
If you're looking for the most efficient and practical mode of travel, I recommend flying. The flight is significantly faster, and while the cost is higher than the bus, it saves considerable time. However, if you prefer a scenic and leisurely trip, driving can be a rewarding experience, especially if you travel with company. Remember to take breaks to enjoy the drive through the picturesque landscapes.
