Continue for about 40 kilometers until you reach the town of Burawai. Once in Burawai, follow the local signs pointing towards Heart Lake, which is located approximately 15 kilometers further on a well-maintained road. The drive should take about 1-1.5 hours depending on traffic conditions.

Once you arrive in Burawai, you can hire a local taxi or use a rickshaw to cover the last 15 kilometers to Heart Lake. Make sure to negotiate the fare beforehand, which should typically be around 300-500 PKR depending on the vehicle and your negotiation skills.
