Travel Guide to Takur Ghar

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start from the center of Logar. Head southeast on the main road leading out of the city. Follow the signs for the highway towards Kabul. After approximately 30 kilometers, look for the exit to Takur Ghar, which is located near the entrance to the mountainous region. The drive will take about 45 minutes, depending on traffic. Once you reach the foot of Takur Ghar, you may need to park your vehicle and hike up to the peak, as the roads may not be accessible for cars.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, take a shared taxi or a minibus from the main bus station in Logar towards Kabul. Inform the driver that you want to get off at the Takur Ghar exit. This trip should cost around 100 AFN. Once you arrive at the exit, you will need to hire a local taxi or arrange for a guide who can take you to the base of Takur Ghar. Be prepared for an additional cost of approximately 500 AFN for this part of the journey, and confirm the return trip with the driver or guide.

• Hiking

  Once you reach the base of Takur Ghar, you will need to hike to the peak. The trail is well-marked but can be steep in some sections. Ensure that you have appropriate footwear and carry enough water. The hike can take around 2 to 3 hours depending on your fitness level. It's advisable to start early in the morning to avoid the heat of the day.
