Lahore to Loralai Bus Ticket Price, Online Booking, Timing
The Lahore to Loralai bus ticket price starts at about Rs 3,600 and reaches Rs 6,200 for Daewoo Luxury. Six operators cover the 750 km run in around twelve hours, and this is the closest Balochistan district to Lahore by road.
Short answer: Lahore to Loralai economy coaches charge Rs 3,600 to Rs 4,000, executive and business Rs 4,500 to Rs 5,200, and Daewoo Luxury runs Rs 6,200. Services run west through Dera Ghazi Khan rather than looping through Quetta.
Lahore to Loralai bus ticket price by operator and class
A modest timetable, though better than the fare suggests because the road here is shorter than the route to Quetta.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daewoo Express | Luxury, AC | N-70 | 12h 00m | Rs 6,200 |

The Balochistan operator
Al Saif Bus Service works the Balochistan routes as its core network and runs both executive and business here. On a province where most national brands treat every town as an outlier, an operator with counters across the region is worth checking before anything else.
Apples, olives and the Zhob road
Loralai sits high enough to grow fruit, and the district is known for apples and more recently olives. It also sits on the road north to Zhob and west to Quetta, which makes it a junction as well as a destination for anyone moving around north east Balochistan.
You do not go through Quetta to get here
Most Balochistan routes from Lahore run to Quetta first and work outwards. Loralai is the exception, reached directly on the N-70 from Dera Ghazi Khan.
West from DG Khan
Through Dera Ghazi Khan and over the Sulaiman range rather than round through Sindh.
750 km, not 1,100
Which is why Loralai costs less and takes four hours less than Quetta from the same origin.
Mountain road
Two lanes over the range, so twelve hours for 750 km rather than the motorway pace you get heading south.
What that means for planning
If your destination is anywhere in north east Balochistan, check Loralai before assuming you need to route through Quetta. Coming back east from the provincial capital adds most of a day for no reason. The one case for the Quetta route is if you need the frequency and terminals a capital offers, or if you are travelling on into the south of the province.

Which is the best bus service from Lahore to Loralai?
Six operators on one mountain road, so the question is who has counters at the far end.
Al Saif Bus Service
Executive at Rs 4,500 and business at Rs 4,800, from the operator whose network is built around Balochistan.
Skyways
Air conditioned economy at Rs 3,600, the lowest fare, an hour behind the quickest on a twelve hour run.
Faisal Movers
Business at Rs 5,200 with 30 kg luggage and a cancellation window, worth having where rebooking is hard.
The honest recommendation
Take Al Saif Bus Service executive at about Rs 4,500 on an evening departure. The Rs 900 over the cheapest ticket buys half an hour and, more usefully, an operator that works this province daily and can advise on the onward roads. Daewoo Luxury at Rs 6,200 is a reclining seat with no premium terminal at this end, which is a lot for the same mountain road.
