The Soon Valley
The valley in the Salt Range north of here, with its lakes at Khabeki and Uchhali, is the main reason visitors come to this district. No intercity coach goes there, so plan local transport or a hired vehicle from Khushab and allow a full day. Spring and autumn are the sensible seasons.
Sargodha is the fallback
Sargodha sits about an hour back with a far denser timetable. If the direct services do not suit, booking there and continuing west is straightforward and local transport runs through the day.
The district is Khushab, the headquarters is Jauharabad
Unusually, the administrative centre is not the town the district is named after. Both appear on timetables and they are a real distance apart.
The older town
On the Jhelum river, and what most people mean when they say Khushab. Usually the better served of the two.
The headquarters
A planned town built later, and where the district offices are. A separate booking on most operators.
A local ride apart
Short but not walkable. On a four hour journey it is an avoidable annoyance at the end.
How to get it right
Decide which town you actually need before you search, then book that name. If your business is with the district administration, it is Jauharabad. If you are visiting the town, the river or heading up to the Soon Valley, it is Khushab. Operators list both, so the mistake is easy to make and equally easy to avoid by reading the stop name rather than the district.
