If you’re leaving from Jammu early, check the exact departure of the shared auto from the Tawi bus stand most drivers start around 7 am and run every 20 30 minutes. The 35 km stretch takes roughly 45 minutes, so you’ll be at the temple gate by 8 am, well before the crowds. If you prefer a single ride straight to the entrance, a pre booked cab from the airport is an easy option, especially if you’re arriving after a flight. After the visit, staying at The Khyber Himalayan Resort & Spa in Gulmarg gives you a comfortable base for the next day.
