Before you book a Lahore to Muzaffarabad bus
Three things shape a Lahore to Muzaffarabad bus journey as much as the fare: what happens after Muzaffarabad, how long the whole trip really takes and where you board.
-
No bus up the valley
Beyond Muzaffarabad it is vans and jeeps that leave when full, at fares you agree before setting off. Keran is about three hours on, Sharda five and Kel six to seven.
-
Plan two days, not one
Seven hours to Muzaffarabad and six or seven more to Kel means a daytime start reaches the valley after transport stops. Take an overnight bus, or stay a night in Muzaffarabad.
-
Where you board
Muzaffarabad Express confirms its Lahore pickup at booking, while Faisal Movers boards on Band Road. Both set down at the Muzaffarabad terminal, where the valley vans leave.
