To reach the springs of Rangli Bulagh, you usually have to walk a short distance from the entrance or the parking area, which takes about 10 to 30 minutes depending on the route you choose and the weather conditions. The route is relatively easy, and along the way you can enjoy beautiful natural views of the plains and heights of the region.
