Close enough to be a day trip

At three and a half hours Jhelum is within a comfortable day’s return from Peshawar, which none of the other Punjab GT cities are. That changes what you should book: a morning departure and an evening return is realistic here, so there is little reason to pay for the overnight comfort you would want on the Lahore or Multan corridors.

The sixteenth century fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site, reached by local transport from Dina just north of Jhelum.
