Our verdict
Kohistan Express at Rs 2,850, or book to Sukkur if nothing direct suits. Thirteen and a half hours is well past the point where a standard seat is a false economy, and Rs 1,250 below business class for the same road is a real saving. The half hour from Sukkur is never the hard part of this journey.
