Islamabad to Narowal Bus Ticket Price, Online Booking, Timing
The Islamabad to Narowal ticket price starts at about Rs 1,300 and rises to roughly Rs 2,200 in executive class. The journey covers around 330 km and takes five hours, with most services turning east at Gujranwala or Sialkot.
Short answer: the Islamabad to Narowal bus ticket price runs from about Rs 1,300 on local coaches to about Rs 2,200 for Faisal Movers executive. Narowal is in the far east of Punjab, beyond Sialkot, and this is also the stop for Kartarpur.
Islamabad to Narowal ticket price by operator
Narowal costs noticeably more than Sialkot despite being only sixty kilometres further, and the reason is that the road east of Sialkot is ordinary highway served by far fewer operators.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Local coaches from Pirwadhai | Standard seated, some not air conditioned | Rawalpindi to Narowal via Gujranwala | 5h 30m | Rs 1,300 |
| Waraich Express | Standard seated, air conditioned | Rawalpindi to Narowal via Sialkot | 5h | Rs 1,500 |

Narowal is the stop for Kartarpur, but not the gateway itself
The Kartarpur corridor terminal is at Shakargarh side of the district, well outside Narowal city, and crossing has its own registration and documentation process handled separately from your bus ticket. Narowal is where the intercity coaches end; the corridor is a further local journey with its own rules. Do not assume one booking covers both.

Which is the best bus service from Islamabad to Narowal
Three named operators on a five hour run, with Sialkot as the fallback that always works.
Local coaches from Pirwadhai
Counter-sold seats via Gujranwala. Some are not air conditioned, but they serve the district towns east of Sialkot properly.
From Rs 1,300
Waraich Express
Air conditioned for Rs 200 over the floor and half an hour quicker, from an operator rooted in this part of Punjab.
From Rs 1,500
Kohistan Express
A luxury seat at Rs 450 below the executive for the same arrival time, which makes it the better of the two upper options.
From Rs 1,750
Our verdict
Waraich Express at Rs 1,500 is the right booking. Five hours in an air conditioned seat is fine, and the Rs 700 gap to the executive class buys nothing on this road. If nothing direct suits, book to Sialkot and take a local coach east rather than reshaping your day around one departure.
