Fares are indicative published prices and vary with class, season, fuel adjustments and demand. Your live, confirmed fare appears on the seat map before payment.

Up to the plateau

Rawalakot vans and coaches from the twin cities take the southern road over the Azad Pattan bridge, not the Murree and Kohala route used for Muzaffarabad.

The town sits on a broad plateau, so the last stretch is a steady climb rather than a narrow gorge.
