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.
Jhelum, Dina and the Salt Range
Jhelum sits on the river of the same name at the edge of the Potohar plateau, with several places of interest within a short local journey.
Via Dina
The sixteenth century fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site, reached by local transport from Dina just north of Jhelum.
West of the city
Khewra and the Salt Range sit west toward Chakwal, reached by local road rather than the motorway.
On the corridor
Both served by through traffic and local transport, and both close enough to work as alternative stops.
A genuine half day corridor
Three and a half hours each way makes this one of the few long distance routes from Peshawar you can do and return from in a day. Take an early departure, and book the return before you leave rather than assuming a late seat will be available.
