Special Notes

Weather forecast
Multiple routes available, so make sure you have a map. The one I did comes from Krma Valley and ends at Bohinj Lake, mainly because of car constraint. The known scenic route passes through the seven lakes that come in different colors, all of which are on the east side of the summit to Bohinj lake route.

Via Ferrata. There's quite a lot of them throughout the mountain, NONE of which require a harness + cables. But for the summit attempt, helmets are definitely recommended. That said, I saw a lot of people climb with neither.
A lot of people have died in this hike. Honestly the hike is pretty decent

Ljubljana to Bled bus here. I am coming in earlier to do a walk around the lake, so I decided to stop at Bled Mlino (EUR5.90 for weekdays, EUR1.90 ish for weekends). I booked my buses online + printed them, but in hindsight just pay cash on the spot to the driver and save on the booking fees.
Private transport booking option here, EUR160 round trip.
The recommendation was to go to Mojstrana first (EUR3.50), then walk 2 hours to Krma Valley. So that's what I'm doing and staying the Kovinarska koča v Krmi. Google maps pin, Reservation Locals tell me there's a bus up here from end of June. Either way, a taxi will be around EUR10 from Mojstrana, but you'll need to call them in advance. The walk wasn't too bad.

Triglavski Dom na Kredarici. One of the huts below the summit. Reservations here.

Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih. Reservations here. I was too late and couldn't book a slot. It's on the way from Kredarici to Bohinj Lake. Take note that jezerih means lake, so don't just follow any sign that says jezerih.
Hostel pod Voglom. Not a hut, a hostel near the lake but it will serve as my exit point. since I couldn't book the Koca thing above. This is also accessible to the Bus Stop Pod Voglom. Bus reservations here.

Tour vs independent. I am female traveling solo so I would prefer to go with a tour. I checked the prices and the cheapest I can find is EUR300 with just the guide fee. So I am going independent... solo.
