Same group, two different roads
Bilal Travels has worked the GT Road since 1992 and routes along it, while its sister brand Kohistan Express runs the same group’s motorway services. On this corridor both reach Jhelum, but the GT Road services pass through the towns and the motorway ones bypass them, which matters if you are getting off before the end.
Jhelum City and Jhelum Cantt
The cantonment is a separate booking from the city and a local journey apart, the same pattern as Okara, Kharian and Attock. On a three hour route that ride at the far end is a meaningful share of your travel time, so check the stop name rather than assuming.
The change point for Azad Kashmir
Jhelum sits where the GT Road passes closest to the Azad Kashmir districts, which makes it the practical interchange for travellers heading that way.
Mirpur and Bhimber
Mirpur and Bhimber are both reached by turning off near here, on flat road with no hill sections.
Continuous both ways
Nine operators means you are never waiting long, which is what makes a two leg journey practical from here.
When to change rather than book through
If a through service to your Azad Kashmir destination is thin on your date, book to Jhelum and continue. The first leg runs constantly across nine operators, so you are rarely waiting more than half an hour, and the onward leg is short. That is a better position than most interchange towns offer. Do arrive in daylight though, since Azad Kashmir transport thins out sharply in the evening.

Which is the best bus service from Lahore to Jhelum?
Nine operators on a short corridor means the terminal and the routing matter more than the brand.
Rajput Travels
Air conditioned economy at Rs 950, the lowest on the route, half an hour behind the motorway coaches at less than half the fare.
Bilal Travels
Executive at Rs 1,300, working the GT Road since 1992, which is the routing to want if you are stopping short of Jhelum.
Kohistan Express
Business at Rs 1,450 on the motorway alignment, the same group as Bilal Travels but bypassing the towns.
The honest recommendation
Take Rajput Travels or Skyways economy at Rs 950 to Rs 1,000 for a straightforward trip. The half hour the motorway coaches save is not worth Rs 500 on a journey this short. Choose Kohistan Express at Rs 1,450 if you are connecting onward and want the margin, and check City or Cantt on whatever you book.
