From Kulmak, a well-maintained gravel road ascends to the summit of Tomorr. Note that the summit is generally accessible by car only during summer and autumn due to snow. There are no tolls on this route. Parking is available near the mausoleum at the summit.

Hiking
For a challenging hike to the northern summit (Çuka e Partizanit), start from the village of Dardhë. The trail covers steep gravel slopes and requires an elevation gain of over 1450 meters. The hike to the summit takes approximately 5.5 hours. Alternatively, some agencies offer guided hiking tours from Berat, including transportation.
