Barely dearer than Sukkur, three hours further on
Karachi to Sukkur starts around Rs 2,200 and Rahim Yar Khan around Rs 3,200, for three hours more road. That is a real difference rather than the near-identical pricing you see on some through routes, which reflects crossing into Punjab where the corridor gets busier and the operator mix changes.
Where Sindh meets Punjab
Rahim Yar Khan is a substantial city in its own right, with the Cholistan desert east and the Sindh border a short distance south.
South on the corridor
Both served en route by the same services, and both closer to the Sindh boundary.
Two hours north
The larger city and the main Cholistan base, with wider onward connections.
East
Cholistan runs east from the corridor, reached by hired vehicle rather than scheduled transport.
Confirm city or bypass before an overnight arrival
Lahore corridor services frequently set down outside Rahim Yar Khan rather than entering it. Combined with an arrival in the small hours, that is the thing most likely to go wrong here. Ask when booking and get a contact number for the local counter.
