A direct coach to a small city

Few operators run from south Punjab to Narowal at all, so Waraich’s direct service is the natural first choice.

Via Lahore works if the direct coach is full, but Narowal services from Lahore are less frequent than to Gujranwala or Sialkot, so allow time for the connection.
