The belt operators are worth more than they look here
Manthar Transport takes its name from a town a few kilometres up the road, and this stretch between Sadiqabad and Ghotki is where operators like it are strongest. National brands treat Daharki as one stop among many on a Karachi run; the belt companies treat it as a destination. On a twelve hour overnight, that difference usually shows up in where and when you actually get set down.

Our verdict
Manthar Transport at Rs 2,500 or Kohistan Express at Rs 2,700, depending on whether you value the stop or the seat. Both beat paying Rs 3,900 on a route where the real risk is a vague set-down rather than an uncomfortable night. Settle where the bus actually stops first, then pick between those two.
