Muzaffarabad Airport exists but is non-operational — the city has no commercial air service. The practical way to get here is by road from Islamabad, about 130 kilometers to the southwest. The journey takes two to three hours depending on traffic and road conditions.
Buses run regularly between Rawalpindi/Islamabad and Muzaffarabad, departing from the Pir Wadhai bus terminal in Rawalpindi. Private taxis and shared vans also make the run. The road passes through attractive mountain scenery as it climbs into Azad Kashmir.
Note that travel to Azad Kashmir requires Pakistani nationality or special permission for foreign nationals — verify current entry requirements before planning a visit, as rules can change.
