[2] It lies on the Poonch– Rajouri road and is also the starting point of the Mughal Road that leads into the Kashmir Valley through Shopian. [3]
Bufliaz connects Kashmir valley via Mughal Road which is 83.9 km long from district Shopian. [4] [5] In the winter, heavy snowfall blocks the 83.9 km long road due to non-availability of the facilities provided by the state government and Public Works Department - Jammu & Kashmir. [6] [7]
