Confirm luggage terms before you travel
This is a community corridor rather than a tourist one, and people travel with more than a weekend bag. Luggage allowances differ between the AJK operators and are worth checking at the counter rather than at the door.
The last stretch is a river road
Whichever way you come in, the approach to Muzaffarabad is a climbing road along the river rather than motorway. Journey times move with conditions, particularly in winter.
In from Mansehra or round by Murree
Two roads reach Muzaffarabad from Peshawar, and the difference is about two hours.
The Kohala road
East to the twin cities then in over Kohala, nine hours but with more departures.
Timing usually decides
The shorter road has fewer services, so a convenient departure often beats the quicker routing.
Take the Mansehra road if the timing works
It is two hours shorter and it skips the twin cities entirely, which is the same advantage the Hazara road gives on the Kaghan valley routes. The Murree routing earns its place when the Mansehra departures do not suit, or if you are stopping in Rawalpindi anyway. Either way, ask which road your service takes before you pay, because the fare does not tell you.

Which is the best bus service from Peshawar to Muzaffarabad?
Seven to nine hours, where the operator’s counters at the far end are worth real money.
Hazara Movers
Economy at Rs 2,600 on the shorter Mansehra road, from the Hazara corridor operator.
Muzaffarabad Express
Executive at Rs 3,100 from an operator named for the destination, with counters there.
AK Movers
Luxury at Rs 3,800 on the quickest schedule, and the widest Azad Kashmir network.
The honest recommendation
Take Muzaffarabad Express executive at about Rs 3,100 on a morning departure via Mansehra. The Rs 500 over Hazara Movers buys an operator whose whole network is the destination, which matters for luggage terms and for anything that goes wrong. Adil Shah Coaches at Rs 2,200 is genuinely cheap but nine hours via Murree is the long way round.
