Qadri Travels Ticket Price, Bus Timings, Online Booking & Contact Number
The Qadri Travels ticket price is around Rs 1,000 between Muzaffarabad and Islamabad or Rawalpindi, on 30 seater Toyota Coasters and Yutong executive coaches. Founded in 2004 as Qadri Tours & Travels (Pvt) Ltd, it runs one corridor and runs it often, which is a different proposition to the national networks.
Short answer: Qadri Travels charges about Rs 1,000 for Muzaffarabad to Islamabad and the same in reverse, on a journey of roughly four hours. It is a single corridor operator between Azad Jammu & Kashmir and the twin cities, boarding at Faizabad in Rawalpindi and the New Bus Stand in Muzaffarabad.
Qadri Travels ticket price list for Muzaffarabad and Islamabad
The Qadri Travels ticket price list is short by design. Both published services run the same road in opposite directions, at the same fare, which makes this one of the simplest fare structures on the site.
| Route | Distance | Journey time | Ticket price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muzaffarabad to Islamabad | 140 km | 4h 00m | Rs 1,000 |
| Muzaffarabad to Rawalpindi | 135 km | 3h 45m | Rs 1,000 |
| Islamabad to Muzaffarabad | 140 km | 4h 00m | Rs 1,000 |
| Rawalpindi to Muzaffarabad | 135 km | 3h 45m | Rs 1,000 |
Fares are indicative published prices and vary with fuel adjustments and peak demand. Journey times on the Kohala road depend heavily on weather and landslide clearance. Your live, confirmed fare appears on the seat map before payment.
Rs 1,000 for 140 km is not cheap, and there is a reason
Measured per kilometre, this is one of the higher fares on the site. A Rs 1,000 ticket buys 140 km here, where the same money buys 190 km on the Lahore to Faisalabad motorway run. The difference is the road. This corridor climbs through Murree and drops to the Jhelum at Kohala on two lane mountain highway, where a coaster averages barely 35 km per hour. Fuel burn, brake wear and driver hours all sit far above what a motorway operator carries, and the fare reflects that rather than any premium in the product.
One corridor, run properly
Qadri Travels connects Muzaffarabad with Islamabad and Rawalpindi and does nothing else. For a route that most national operators treat as a branch line, having a company whose entire business is that road changes what you can expect from it.
Murree, Kohala, Muzaffarabad
The route climbs out of Islamabad through the Margalla foothills, crosses the Jhelum at Kohala into Azad Kashmir, then follows the river valley to Muzaffarabad. Scenic, slow, and weather dependent.
Why coasters, not coaches
A 30 seater Toyota Coaster handles the switchbacks above Kohala in a way a 45 seater cannot. Operators on this corridor run small vehicles because the road makes the choice for them.
Beyond Muzaffarabad
Muzaffarabad is the transfer point for the Neelum Valley. Onward coasters to Kel and the upper valley leave from the same New Bus Stand, so the connection is walkable.
Where Qadri genuinely fits
Book Qadri Travels if Muzaffarabad is your actual destination or your gateway to the Neelum Valley. On this corridor the specialists run more departures than the national brands do, and they arrive at the bus stand you want rather than a terminal on the wrong side of town. If you are travelling further into Pakistan from Muzaffarabad, you will be changing at Rawalpindi regardless of who you book, so pick on departure time.
Qadri Travels bus categories and what they get you
Qadri Travels runs two vehicle types on the Muzaffarabad corridor: 30 seater Toyota Coasters and Yutong executive buses with double glazing and extra legroom. The choice matters more here than the small fare difference suggests.
Coaster
30 seats, 2 + 2The mainstay of the corridor and the more frequent of the two.
- Toyota Coasters, air conditioned
- Handles the Kohala switchbacks comfortably
- More departures across the day
- Fills faster on weekends and holidays
Executive
Yutong, 2 + 2Modern double glass buses on selected departures.
- Noticeably more legroom than the coaster
- Double glazed windows, quieter cabin
- Better ride on the valley road
- Fewer departures, so book earlier
Sleeper
Not offeredNot relevant on a four hour daytime run.
- No berths on this corridor from any operator
- The road makes overnight travel unattractive
- Daytime departures throughout
- The scenery is half the point anyway
Take the executive if it runs when you need it
Four hours on a mountain road is long enough that legroom and window glazing are worth a few hundred rupees. The catch is frequency: the coasters run far more often, so the real choice is usually between an executive seat in three hours’ time and a coaster leaving now. If you are prone to motion sickness, ask for a seat forward of the rear axle when you book, because the Kohala descent is the part passengers remember.
Qadri Travels bus timings on the Muzaffarabad route
Qadri Travels runs daytime departures in both directions, with services spread across the morning and afternoon rather than concentrated into one window. On this road, that is a deliberate safety choice as much as a commercial one.
Morning departures
Early to mid morningThe busiest block in both directions, giving a comfortable margin before dark on a road where you do not want to be caught out.
Afternoon departures
Through the afternoonLater coasters run into the early evening. Fine in summer, tighter in winter when the light goes early over Murree.
Winter
Allow marginSnow above Murree and landslides near Kohala add hours or close the road outright. Never plan a same day flight connection off this route.
Peak weekends
Book aheadSummer weekends and Eid see heavy demand in both directions. A 30 seat coaster sells out far faster than a 45 seat coach.

- Faizabad is not Islamabad city centre. Budget for the ride out to Faizabad interchange on top of your journey time.
- Ask for a forward seat if the Kohala descent tends to affect you.

- Muzaffarabad New Bus Stand is the Neelum Valley connection, so onward coasters leave from where you arrive.

Qadri Travels ticket price FAQs
What is the Qadri Travels ticket price?
About Rs 1,000 between Muzaffarabad and Islamabad or Rawalpindi, and the same fare in the reverse direction. The executive Yutong departures carry a modest premium over the standard coaster.
What is the Qadri Travels contact number?
In Muzaffarabad, 05822-447000 along with 0345-9486663-4 and 0302-5486663 at the New Bus Stand. In Rawalpindi, 051-4455242 along with 0304-5287729 and 0301-9486663 at the Skyways stand in Faizabad.
Where does Qadri Travels board in Rawalpindi?
At the Skyways stand at Faizabad. It is a shared boarding point used by several operators, so ask for the Qadri counter specifically rather than the first one you reach. Faizabad is at the Rawalpindi and Islamabad boundary, so allow travel time to get there.
How long does the Muzaffarabad to Islamabad bus take?
Around four hours for roughly 140 km, because the route runs on two lane mountain highway through Murree and Kohala rather than motorway. Winter snow and landslides can add several hours, so do not plan tight onward connections.
What kind of buses does Qadri Travels run?
Thirty seater Toyota Coasters as the main vehicle, plus Yutong executive buses with double glazing and additional legroom on selected departures. Small vehicles suit this road better than full size coaches, which is why every operator on the corridor runs them.
Can I reach the Neelum Valley with Qadri Travels?
Not directly. Qadri runs to Muzaffarabad, which is the transfer point for the Neelum Valley. Onward coasters to Kel and the upper valley leave from the same New Bus Stand, so the connection is straightforward once you arrive.
