The operator named after the district
Niazi Express takes its name from the Niazi tribe of Mianwali, and the district is at the centre of its 150 plus destination network rather than at the edge. New Khan has run the same belt since 1956. On this corridor you are choosing between two companies that were built around these towns, which is a different proposition from a national brand extending a route.
Kalabagh, Kundian and the Salt Range
Mianwali sits where the Indus leaves the hills, with the Salt Range to the east and the Thal to the south.
On the river

The junction

Do not route via Sargodha unless you have to
Travelling to Sargodha and continuing costs more and adds two hours, because Sargodha is east of Mianwali rather than on the way. Book direct with New Khan or Niazi Express, both of which run Mianwali as a core destination rather than a branch.
