Car
If you are traveling by car, begin your journey in the town of Zhemgang. From Zhemgang, take the road heading southeast towards Gonphu. Continue along this road for approximately 16 kilometers. Look for signposts indicating 'Gonphu' as you travel. Once you reach the Gonphu area, you will need to navigate to the coordinates 27.083116, 90.840358, which is the location of Phagolung top. The last stretch may require a small hike or access to a local guide to navigate any trails leading up to the top.
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, start at Zhemgang town and look for local buses or shared taxis heading towards Gonphu. Buses typically leave throughout the day, and the fare should be around 50-100 Ngultrum depending on the vehicle. After reaching Gonphu, you may not find direct transport to Phagolung top. It is advisable to hire a local taxi or inquire about local guides who can assist you with the final 3-4 kilometers to the top, which may require a short hike. Always confirm the return trip with the hired taxi or guide.
