The urs is a different journey entirely
For most of the year Sehwan is a quiet booking. During the annual urs of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar the town receives very large numbers of visitors, special services run from cities across the country, ordinary schedules are disrupted and accommodation fills months in advance. If your dates fall in that window, book early, expect the journey to take longer than the timetable says, and check locally about access into the town.
