    If you are planning to enter/exit Pakistan to/from Indian then Wagha is the only land border open between Pakistan and India (Lahore –Amritsar route). The Wagha Border post is open daily for foreigners; summer (16 April to 15 October) 08:30 to 14:30hrs and winter (16 October to 15 April) 09:000 to 15:00 hrs.

    Minibus No.12 leaves from outside Lahore Railway Station from Wagha every 15 minutes, cost approx US$ 0.20 per person. Taxi shall charge around US$ 8 for this half an hour journey. Only Foreign Nationals can cross the border as it is closed for Indians & Pakistanis.

    The Lahore-Delhi (Samijhota Express) train leaves Lahore at 11:00 hrs on Mondays and Thursdays. Check in time at Lahore Railway Station is 08:00 hrs. First Class fare to Delhi is approx. US$10,Economy Class is US$ 3 whereas Lahore-Armitsar First Class is US$ 2 and Economy Class is US$ 1 per person. This Train is not working nowdays as Indian Government has broken all the Diplmatic links with Pakistan.But kindly keep in mind that nowdays this train is not operating but there is a new bus service between Lahore and New Delhi which is operating 3 times a week.

  • Daewoo bus - Pakistan
    Daewoo bus
    by Rumi-fan
    Send Photo to a Friend
    Travel from Islamabad to Lahore by Daewoo Bus Service - second to none. 4hours 30 mins journey; extremely comfortable seats which recline and have food tray; on board hostess service with food and drink; head phones for TV; one rest stop, and all for around $12 AUD. Warning: when booking I would suggest purchasing tickets at time of booking. On the return trip we booked but did not purchase tickets and when we arrived 30 mins before departure, they'd sold our tickets to others. We had to take a different bus service Niazi which was NOT the standard of Daewoo.

  • Rawalpindi bus terminal - Pakistan
    Rawalpindi bus terminal
    by AndreSTGT
    Send Photo to a Friend
    Pakistani buses are colorful and beautiful to look at from the outside. Unfortunately, they're not very comfortable.
    Bus terminals are usually dirty and chaotic, and you will never find the right bus if you don't ask around. Fortunately, everyone will be happy to show you where you have to go, so don't worry.
    Buses are dirt cheap. We paid 70 Rupees (1.20€) for the 7-hour trip from Rawalpindi to Mingora.

    Salut Mes Amis,

    The best way to get to Chitral from Peshawar, is to take a flight through PIA but due to its difficult location, the flights are subject to weather therefore the 2nd options's to take a by road trip over Lowari pass 3200 m.

    Leave Peshawar for Chitral, early in the morning, to Temergera from Haji camp bus stand Peshawar, 3 hrs in a public transport.
    Temergera to Dir, Change the bus at Temergera for Dir, 2 more hours.
    From Dir take a land cruiser to Chitral, 4 more hours.

    Enjoy the marvels of Pakistan

    Realistically speaking, the only way to reach Pakistan is through air. The 3 best airlines serving Karachi are KLM, British Airways and Emirates.
    There are 3 local airlines - PIA, Aero-Asia and Shaheen - serving all the major cities of Pakistan. However, we strongly recommend traveling by road in an airconditioned mini-passenger vans or 4 wheel drives with curtained windows. Road travel offers good cultural experience as shown in the picture of a young Pushtoon woman from NWFP tending her flock of sheep. Picture of women should only be taken by the females in the entourage and that too with permission.

  • Using Local Public Tranport or Taxis could be hectic. The is no organised system of transport in comparison with developed nations. You must know the place where you wish to go and then you have to ask people which bus will be approperiate for you to take in order to reach there.

    Salut Mes Amis,

    The best way to travel to Peshawar from Islamabad is from Karachi Company bus station in Islamabad where you can travel in a coach which accomodates 14, 15 people and takes almost 3 hrs to Peshawar on motoray and G.T road.

    It's almost 170 Km from Islamabad to Peshawar.

    Enjoy the marvels of Pakistan
