Car
If you are traveling by car, start from your current location in Kashmir Great Lakes and head towards Srinagar. Follow the NH44 highway, which is well-marked and offers beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. Once you reach Srinagar, navigate towards the Nohata area. Look for signboards directing you to Hari Parbat. The main entrance is located at the base of the hill; you can park your car nearby (parking fees may apply, typically around INR 20-50). From the parking area, you will need to walk up to the fort entrance.
Public Transportation
To reach Hari Parbat using public transport, first make your way to the nearest bus station in Srinagar. You can take a local bus or auto-rickshaw to the Nohata area. The fare for an auto-rickshaw will be around INR 50-100 depending on your starting point. Once you arrive in Nohata, look for signposts or ask locals for directions to Hari Parbat. From the drop-off point, you will need to walk to the main entrance of the fort, which is a short distance away.
Taxi
Hiring a taxi is a convenient option if you prefer a direct route to Hari Parbat. You can book a taxi through local services or ride-sharing apps. The cost will vary based on your starting point in Kashmir Great Lakes, but expect to pay between INR 300-600 for a one-way trip.
