Islamabad to Khuzdar Bus Ticket Price, Online Booking, Timing
The Islamabad to Khuzdar ticket price runs from about Rs 3,800 to Rs 5,500, and there are two quite different ways to get there. Khuzdar sits halfway between Quetta and Karachi on the N-25.
Short answer: plan on Rs 3,800 to Rs 5,500. Khuzdar is about five hours south of Quetta on the N-25, and it can also be reached from the Karachi side, which is worth knowing if you are coming back.

Coming from Karachi is often easier than coming from Quetta
Khuzdar is roughly equidistant between Quetta and Karachi on the N-25, and the Karachi side of that road carries considerably more traffic. If you are planning a return trip or your dates are flexible, it is worth pricing a Karachi routing as well. From the capital the Quetta approach is shorter, but it is not always the better connected one.

Super Mekhtar to Quetta, then local
A luxury seat for the overnight leg, and a night in Quetta before the southern run if the timing is tight.

About Rs 5,500
Our verdict
Super Mekhtar to Quetta, then travel south the next morning. Twenty three hours in one go is more than most people should attempt, and Quetta is a sensible place to break. If a direct service happens to suit your date, it is a fair choice, but do not build the trip around finding one.
