Sudhan Gali and Ganga Choti
The hill viewpoints above the town are what most visitors come for and they are reached by local transport, not by the coach. Allow a separate half day, and note that the higher ground is genuinely cold outside high summer.
Rawalakot has more services
Rawalakot runs seven operators against five here and sits on one of the two approach roads. If the Bagh timetable is awkward, booking there and continuing is the straightforward fallback.
From the north or from the south
Bagh sits between Muzaffarabad and Rawalakot, and services reach it from either. On most routes the approach is a detail. Here it decides where you can go next.
Via Muzaffarabad
The choice if you are also visiting the capital or heading towards the Neelum Valley afterwards.
Via Rawalakot
Cheaper, and the better choice if Poonch, Palandri or Kotli are also on your trip.
Roughly an hour apart
Neither approach dominates on time or fare, so let your onward plans decide.
How to choose
Book the approach that faces the rest of your trip, not the cheapest ticket. If Bagh is one stop on a Kashmir circuit, arriving from the wrong side means backtracking several hours on mountain roads to reach the next place. If Bagh is your only destination and you are returning the same way, take the Rawalakot road and save the money, since it is the cheaper of the two.

Which is the best bus service from Lahore to Bagh?
Approach road first, class second, on a route where five operators split two ways.
Skyways
Air conditioned economy at Rs 1,800 via Rawalakot, the lowest fare, an hour behind the quickest.
AK Movers
Executive at Rs 2,600 via Rawalakot, with counters across Azad Kashmir for the rest of the trip.
Muzaffarabad Express
Business at Rs 2,950 on the northern approach, from an operator built around that corridor.
The honest recommendation
Take AK Movers executive at about Rs 2,600 via Rawalakot if Bagh is part of a wider trip. That approach opens the rest of Poonch and the operator has counters along it. If you are only visiting Bagh and coming straight back, Skyways at Rs 1,800 on the same road does the job for Rs 800 less.
