Islamabad to Ghotki ticket price by operator

Fares are indicative published prices and vary with class, season, fuel adjustments and demand. Your live, confirmed fare appears on the seat map before payment.
Ghotki district and Ghotki city are not the same booking
The district takes in Mirpur Mathelo, Ubauro, Khangarh and Daharki as well as Ghotki city, and operators use the district name loosely on the boards. These towns are spread across sixty or seventy kilometres of the N-5. After a thirteen hour overnight that is not a distance you want to discover at the end, so name the town rather than the district when you buy.

Which is the best bus service from Islamabad to Ghotki
Four operators, and the useful split is between those that terminate nearby and those merely passing.
Sania Express
The fare floor and air conditioned, with a Sindh network that helps if you are continuing towards Sukkur or Khairpur.
From Rs 2,400
Manthar Transport
Based on this exact stretch of road, and the operator most likely to serve the smaller district towns properly.
From Rs 2,550
Kohistan Express
A luxury seat for Rs 400 over the floor, which is the step that actually changes a thirteen hour night.
From Rs 2,800
Faisal Movers business
The widest seat and a proper terminal, at Rs 1,200 above the luxury option for the same arrival.
From Rs 4,000
Our verdict
Kohistan Express at Rs 2,800 is the seat worth having, and Manthar Transport at Rs 2,550 is the one that knows the district. Choose by which matters more to you. Business class at Rs 4,000 is a large premium on a corridor where the practical problem is the set-down point rather than the seat.
