Travel & Transportation in Muzaffarabad
Airport transfers, cars with drivers, and Hiace, coaster or bus hire across Islamabad, Rawalpindi and the northern routes.
Muzaffarabad is the last full-service town before the Neelum valley, and the place to sort permits, cash and fuel.
Muzaffarabad sits at around 740 metres where the Neelum river meets the Jhelum, which makes it warmer than most Kashmir destinations and greener than the plains. Hotels concentrate near Domel and along the Neelum Road out of town, with a handful of better properties on the Chehla Bandi side facing the river. Upper Adda holds the bus stands and the cheaper stock. Almost everyone here is either working in the capital or passing through on the way up the Neelum valley.
Rooms run Rs 4,500 to Rs 9,000 for a mid-range double and Rs 12,000 to Rs 18,000 at the better river-facing properties. Rates are stable except in July and August, when Neelum-bound traffic fills the town, and around Eid holidays. This is the last place with reliable banks, ATMs, fuel and vehicle workshops before the valley road, so draw cash and fill the tank here rather than expecting either at Kutton or Keran.
