Fares by operator

Lahore to Kharian bus ticket price by operator and class

Well served for its size, sitting on the GT Road between Gujrat and Jhelum with the motorway close by.

Fares are indicative published prices and vary with operator, class, fuel adjustments and peak demand. Your live, confirmed fare appears on the seat map before payment.

Gujrat and Jhelum are either side

Gujrat is back towards Lahore and Jhelum further on, both on the same GT Road. Both are better served, so if the timetable here is awkward either works as a fallback with local transport filling the gap.

Kharian Cantt is separate

The cantonment is sold separately from the town on several operators, the same pattern as Jhelum and Nowshera. Read the stop name before paying rather than assuming one ticket covers both.

What actually decides the price

An overseas belt, and the luggage that comes with it

This part of north Punjab has long standing emigration links, and a large share of the traffic on this corridor is people heading to or from a flight with full airline luggage.

THE HEADLINE

Rs 800 economy

Cheap on paper, but the allowance is modest and excess is charged at the counter.

THE ALLOWANCE

30 kg on Faisal Movers

At Rs 1,500 that can work out lower overall than Rs 800 plus two pieces of excess.

THE ARITHMETIC

Do it before you book

Two suitcases changes the answer entirely on a corridor this short.

The rule for this corridor

If you are travelling with airline luggage, compare total cost including excess rather than the fare on the screen. This is the same point as on the Gujrat route next door, and it applies with more force here: on a two and three quarter hour journey the seat is nearly irrelevant, so the allowance is the only thing the premium classes are really selling you. Travelling light, take the cheapest ticket without hesitation.

Departure schedule

Lahore to Kharian bus timings and departure frequency

Frequent, carried by the whole Rawalpindi corridor running past.

All day

Regular

Seven operators plus through services on both the GT Road and the motorway.

Early departures

For flights

Useful if you are connecting to a flight from Islamabad or Sialkot.

Eid and holidays

Book ahead

Heavy in both directions on this corridor, more than the distance suggests.

Winter fog

December to January

The GT Road fogs badly and a three hour trip can run well over.

Choosing an operator

Which is the best bus service from Lahore to Kharian?

Under three hours, so this is a luggage decision more than a comfort one.

BEST VALUE

Rajput Travels

Air conditioned economy at Rs 800 on the GT Road, the lowest fare, half an hour behind the motorway services.

BEST FOR THE CORRIDOR

Q Connect

Executive at Rs 1,150, working central and northern Punjab with a good spread of departures.

BEST WITH LUGGAGE

Faisal Movers

Business at Rs 1,500 with 30 kg included, which is the case that decides this route for many travellers.

The honest recommendation

Travelling light, take Rajput Travels at Rs 800. With suitcases, take Faisal Movers at Rs 1,500. That is the whole decision on a corridor this short, and getting it wrong costs more at the counter than the fare difference. Daewoo Luxury at Rs 1,800 is more than double the cheapest fare for thirty five minutes.
