We'll be traveling in breaks for this trip of 7 days via road.

Is it correct to say the *in breaks* part while explaining to a brand of hotel if they've hotels along a long route from north to centre of India? I wanted to tell this person since it's impossible to cover 1200kms in one day so we'll be taking break after 500kms. We're planning a trip and for this reason I'm forming the itinerary. Actually, I recently found the meaning of *in* as shown in the picture and thus used it the way I did with the hotel management over call. I keep experimenting with English as I want to sound natural and flexible. I've hackneyed *taking break* phrase to a point that I feel that I sound dull. And natives are welcome to advice any other sentences to speak in this situation. Also, let me know my mistakes in this post. Thanks as always!

Personally the "in" doesn't feel natural to me, I'd say "traveling with breaks" or if I wanted to be really formal "traveling at increments"

We'll be breaking up this 7 day road trip into stages.

The issue is that the breaks are in the travelling, not the other way around. Using in to show how it’s arranged requires words for the arrangement. Travelling in increments as mentioned above would work. Travelling in legs. Travelling in sections. Travelling in parts. Though it sounds more natural to just say “with breaks” unless you wanted to specify how many parts.
