Not Dera Ismail Khan
The two are different cities in different provinces and both get shortened to “Dera” on booking screens. Dera Ismail Khan is in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, about four hours short of here on the same road. Read the full name before you pay.
Fort Munro and the road west
Dera Ghazi Khan is the staging point for the road west into Balochistan over Fort Munro. That onward leg runs in daylight and is arranged locally rather than sold as a through ticket.
The one Punjab destination that skips the motorway entirely
Almost every Peshawar service into Punjab runs east through the twin cities and down the motorway. This one goes south instead, on the west bank of the Indus.
East then south
Through Islamabad and down the M-2 and M-4, which is how Lahore, Sahiwal and Multan traffic moves.
Different operators
The southern KP companies work this road. The motorway brands largely do not.
Why that matters when you book
Searching for the operators you would use to reach Lahore will not turn up the best services here. Dera Ghazi Khan sits on the southern corridor, so the companies to look for are the ones running Kohat, Bannu and Dera Ismail Khan rather than the motorway names. It also means the journey shares its first half with every other southbound route from Peshawar, and a through booking is worth more than a split at DI Khan.

Which is the best bus service from Peshawar to Dera Ghazi Khan?
Ten hours overnight, so the seat is the main purchase.
Adil Shah Coaches
Rs 2,800, an hour slower and a long night seated.
Niazi Express
Executive at Rs 4,000, the sensible overnight choice on this corridor.
Faisal Movers
Business at Rs 4,800 on the quickest schedule, with the widest onward network.
The honest recommendation
Take Niazi Express executive at about Rs 4,000. Ten hours seated in economy for Rs 1,200 less is a poor trade when the point of an overnight run is arriving able to use the day, and Faisal Movers at Rs 4,800 buys fifteen minutes and a luggage allowance. Check the full city name at the counter.
