Getting There
-
Car
From Leh, head south on the NH1 highway towards Kargil. After reaching Kargil, continue on the same highway until you reach the town of Skardu. From Skardu, follow the signs towards the Neelum Valley. The last stretch involves driving through the scenic Neelum Valley until you reach Taobat. Please ensure to check road conditions as they can vary, and it is advisable to have a local guide for this route due to its complexity.
-
Public Transport
Take a bus from Leh to Skardu. Once in Skardu, look for shared jeep services that go towards the Neelum Valley. These shared jeeps are quite common and will take you through the beautiful landscapes towards Taobat. The journey may take several hours, so be prepared for a long ride. Make sure to inquire about the last jeep returning to Skardu as they may not run late in the evening.
-
Local Transport (Jeep or Taxi)
If you're in Skardu, rent a local jeep or hire a taxi to take you directly to Taobat. This option is more flexible and allows you to stop and take in the views along the way. The cost may vary depending on the negotiation but expect to pay around PKR 3000-5000 for a round trip. Make sure to discuss and agree on the return time with the driver.
