If you are traveling by car, start from the town of Mongar. Head east on the main road (East-West Highway) towards Radi. After approximately 18 kilometers, you will come to a junction.

The buses usually operate several times a day, but it's best to check the schedule ahead of time. The journey will take approximately 1 hour. Once you arrive in Radi, you may need to walk or hire a local taxi to reach Chador Lhakhang, which is about 1 kilometer from the bus stop.
