The bus travels to Multan on the M-3/M-4 motorways, then crosses the Chenab towards Muzaffargarh and the Indus bridge (Ghazi Ghat) into Dera Ghazi Khan. The last part is on busy two-lane roads with heavy goods traffic.
The first part to Multan is on the M-3/M-4 motorways, usually with one stop. From Multan the bus crosses the Chenab towards Muzaffargarh, a busy junction town, and then heads west to the Indus. The Ghazi Ghat bridge over the Indus is one of the widest river crossings in Punjab, especially after the monsoon.
West of the river, the Suleiman mountains become visible on clear days as you approach Dera Ghazi Khan.
Board at Abdullah Travels, Band Road, Lahore. In D.G. Khan see our terminal guide for the address and official number.
For a seven-to-eight hour trip, the cheaper class is fine in the daytime, but the last stretch after Multan is on busy two-lane roads with more braking and stopping, so a better seat helps on night buses. If you are travelling with family, ask for seats in the middle of the bus, which is the most stable part on uneven roads.
October to March is the best period. Summers in D.G. Khan are among the hottest in Punjab, often above 45°C. For Fort Munro, the hill station above the city, summer is the main season, while winter can bring cold winds and occasional snow on top. The Indus can flood during exceptional monsoons; check news in August if travelling then.
Dera Ghazi Khan is the main city of the western Seraiki belt, between the Indus and the Suleiman mountains. It is known for Fort Munro, the Sakhi Sarwar shrine and its role as the gateway between Punjab and Balochistan.
Rickshaws are the usual way around the city. For Fort Munro (about 85 km away), vans and cars leave from the city; the mountain road has many hairpin bends and takes around two hours. For Sakhi Sarwar, local transport leaves from the general bus stand. If you are continuing to Taunsa or Rajanpur, ask at the terminal about connecting buses.
Because some of the region is close to the provincial border, keep your CNIC with you when travelling beyond the city.

Step-by-step help: How to book a Faisal Movers ticket.
Fake "Faisal Movers booking" numbers and WhatsApp accounts are common on social media. They take an advance payment by JazzCash, Easypaisa or bank transfer and never issue a ticket. Buy only through the official website, the Bookkaru app, the UAN 111-22-44-88 or a terminal counter, and never share an OTP, PIN or card number with a caller.
When travelling with children or elderly relatives, choose seats near the front (less motion, quicker exit at stops), carry snacks and medicines in hand luggage, and ask the hostess for help at the boarding door if someone needs assistance with steps.
