Lalamusa is the junction that makes this route easy
Mandi Bahauddin is about forty minutes off the GT Road, and Lalamusa is where the branch begins. Because Lalamusa is served by everything running between the capital and Lahore, you always have a way in even when direct services are thin. Buy to Lalamusa or Kharian and pick up a local coach if the timing is easier that way; on a three and a half hour journey the change costs very little.

Which is the best bus service from Islamabad to Mandi Bahauddin
Three named operators plus local coaches on a short run, where the local specialists genuinely beat the national brand.
Local coaches from Pirwadhai
Frequent and counter-sold. Some are not air conditioned and they stop often, but they serve the district towns properly.
From Rs 850
Waraich Express
Air conditioned for Rs 200 over the floor, from an operator based in this belt rather than passing through it.
From Rs 1,050
Sandhu Power
Runs the Dinga road into the district, which is the one to book if your stop is not Mandi Bahauddin city itself.
From Rs 1,300
Faisal Movers
Proper terminals at both ends, at nearly double the Waraich fare for the same three and a half hours.
From Rs 1,600
Our verdict
Waraich Express at Rs 1,050 is the clear pick. It is air conditioned, joint fastest, and Rs 550 below Faisal Movers for a journey that lasts three and a half hours. Sandhu Power is worth the extra only if the Dinga road suits your destination better.
