Rawalpindi to Kalat Bus Ticket Price, Online Booking, Timing
The Rawalpindi to Kalat ticket price starts at about Rs 6,300 and reaches Rs 8,300. Kalat, south of Quetta on the N-25, was the seat of the Khanate of Kalat and still holds the ruins of its fort above the town.
Short answer: Rawalpindi to Kalat costs about Rs 6,300 to Rs 8,300 and takes sixteen to eighteen hours. Every option is a Quetta ticket plus a shared van or wagon down the N-25, roughly two and a half hours across open plateau. Nothing runs straight through from the twin cities, and southbound vans mostly leave Quetta before noon.

Quetta is the hub
Kalat has no terminal of its own, so what you are really buying is a Quetta seat plus a shared van fare paid on the spot.
Because vans thin out after midday, an overnight coach that lands in Quetta at breakfast is what makes the whole trip work in one day.
