One road, unlike from the capital
Travellers from Islamabad have a genuine choice between the west bank through Mianwali and the motorway through Multan, and the two are only about ninety minutes apart. From Lahore that choice does not exist: the west bank road is a long way round and no operator runs it. That simplifies the booking, since you are comparing like with like across all seven services.
Fort Munro and the road west
Dera Ghazi Khan is where the N-70 climbs west over Fort Munro into the Balochistan highlands towards Loralai, which makes it a junction as well as a destination. Fort Munro itself is a hill station within reach by local transport and the main reason visitors come to the district.
The last town before the highlands
Dera Ghazi Khan is the point where Punjab’s plains meet the road into Balochistan, and a fair share of the traffic here is passing through rather than stopping.
Over Fort Munro
The N-70 climbs into the highlands towards Loralai. From Lahore this is the natural way into that part of Balochistan.
Using this route to reach Balochistan
From Lahore, the Fort Munro road is the sensible way to Loralai and the eastern Balochistan highlands. That is the opposite of the advice we give travellers from the capital, who are better served going west through Zhob. The connection at Dera Ghazi Khan runs in daylight only, so arrive with time in hand rather than planning a late change.

Which is the best bus service from Lahore to Dera Ghazi Khan?
With a single road and air conditioning throughout, the split is between cheap regional economy and comfortable branded business.
Rajput Travels
Air conditioned economy at Rs 1,900, the lowest on the route, half an hour behind the quickest services.
Adil Shah Coaches
Economy at Rs 2,200 with a 30 kg allowance and Indus belt experience, useful if you are continuing north or west.
Faisal Movers
Business at Rs 3,000 on the quickest six and a half hour schedule, with 30 kg luggage and a cancellation window.
The honest recommendation
Take Al Makkah Coach executive at about Rs 2,400. It sits in the middle of the range, arrives within twenty minutes of the quickest coach, and comes from an operator that works the Multan area as home territory. Rajput Travels at Rs 1,900 is the value pick if you are travelling light. Daewoo Luxury at Rs 3,800 is twice the cheapest fare for half an hour saved on a seven hour run.
