Rawalpindi to Rajanpur Bus Ticket Price, Online Booking, Service Timing
The Rawalpindi to Rajanpur journey runs down the west bank of the Indus: a coach to Dera Ghazi Khan at about Rs 2,600, then a regional service south. Budget eleven hours and roughly Rs 3,200.
Short answer: Rajanpur is reached in two stages. Buy the Faisal Movers or Daewoo Express seat to Dera Ghazi Khan at Rs 2,600 to Rs 2,800, then pay about Rs 600 on a southbound service. Check that your coach takes the M-14, not the Multan loop.

The routing is the variable, not the operator
Both operators charge much the same. What differs between services is the road they take, and on this corridor that is worth two hours.

Stay on the west bank.
A western corridor that did not exist
Until 2022 anything heading for the lower Indus from Rawalpindi went round by Multan. The motorway to Dera Ismail Khan opened a straight line down the west bank.
Before the M-14
- Route
- M-2 and M-4 to Multan, then west and south.
- Effect
- An extra crossing of the river and several hours.
Now
- Route
- M-14 to Mianwali, Indus Highway to Dera Ghazi Khan, then south.
- Effect
- One bank, one road, no detour.
Our advice
Ask which road the coach takes when you book. Some operators still route their southern services through Multan out of habit, and that adds two hours to a Rajanpur journey.

Our verdict
The route matters more than the operator here. A coach down the M-14 and the Indus Highway reaches Dera Ghazi Khan hours before one that loops through Multan, and from there Rajanpur is a straightforward run south.
