Mirpur’s own operator
Waryam Coaches is based in Mirpur and has grown from non-air conditioned buses into a fleet with Daewoo and Yutong coaches. It is a natural middle option between the vans and the national operators.
Hi-roof vans are quickest to fill and cheapest, but offer almost no space for suitcases. On this route, where many passengers are travelling to or from abroad, that matters.
Travelling to Mirpur from an international flight
Mirpur has one of the largest overseas communities of any city in Pakistan, particularly in the United Kingdom, so airport connections shape how many people use this route.
After landing
- Best option
- Taxi or ride hailing from Islamabad airport to Daewoo’s terminal near 26 Number, then the coach to Mirpur.
- Why
- The terminal is on the airport side of the twin cities, and the coach has a proper luggage hold.
Before a flight
- Allow
- At least four and a half hours from Mirpur to the airport door.
- Tip
- Night coaches run, but leave time for delays on the GT Road through Gujar Khan.
How to choose
With suitcases, book Daewoo or Waryam and avoid the vans. Travelling light, a hi-roof van is quick and cheap. For a family group with luggage, a hired car from the airport is often simplest.
