Walking

If you are starting from the Jammu Railway Station, exit the station and head southeast on the main road. Walk straight for about 1.5 kilometers until you reach the intersection with Janipur Road. Here, you will see a large roundabout. Continue straight through the roundabout and take the first left onto Palace Road. After approximately 1 kilometer, you will see the Amar Mahal Museum and Library on your right side. The museum is a prominent building with unique French architecture, so it should be easy to spot.

Auto-rickshaws are a convenient way to reach the Amar Mahal Museum and Library. If you are in the city center, simply find a nearby auto-rickshaw stand or hail one from the street. Tell the driver you want to go to 'Amar Mahal Museum on Palace Road.' The ride should take around 10-15 minutes depending on traffic. Ask the driver to drop you off directly in front of the museum.

Cycle-Rickshaw

For a more leisurely pace, you can take a cycle-rickshaw. Look for cycle-rickshaw stands near popular areas such as Raghunath Bazaar or the main market.
