About Rajput Travels
Rajput Travels is a Punjab-based intercity bus operator whose network follows the N-5 and motorway corridors between Lahore, Multan, Sahiwal division, and Karachi. It is best known on the southern Punjab routes — Chichawatni, Mian Channu, and Multan — where it competes with larger names on price and frequency rather than luxury classes.
Search interest in "Rajput Travels" concentrates on three needs: a terminal phone number, fare confirmation, and — for Karachi–Punjab routes — overnight schedule confirmation. This page covers all four terminals travellers ask about, with booking guidance that applies to each.
Chichawatni Terminal
Chichawatni sits on the main artery between Lahore and Multan in Sahiwal division; agricultural trade and seasonal migrant workers drive steady bus demand year-round. The Rajput counter serves:
- Chichawatni → Multan — frequent through the day
- Chichawatni → Lahore — morning and evening clusters
- Chichawatni → Karachi — overnight via the motorway/N-5 network
- Regional services across Sahiwal district and connecting towns
Contact: phone numbers posted online for the Chichawatni terminal change often; the reliable source is the Rajput counter at the Chichawatni bus terminal itself. Ask for today's schedule at the counter, or check the Punjab Transport Department's published operator lists for registered contacts.
Multan Terminal
Multan is Rajput's southern-Punjab anchor. The terminal near Multan's main bus stand area books long-distance seats to Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad/Rawalpindi, and regional towns like Bahawalpur and Faisalabad. Peak demand hits before and after Eid and during the cotton harvest, when seats sell out a day ahead.
- Popular routes: Multan → Lahore (~5–6 hours), Multan → Karachi (overnight), Multan → Islamabad/Rawalpindi
- Facilities: ticket counters, waiting area, and parcel desk on major routes — quality varies by terminal
- Tip: arrive 30–45 minutes early for seat selection; night coaches to Karachi need a light blanket (AC runs cold)
Karachi Terminal
The Karachi terminal handles the network's longest routes — Karachi → Lahore runs 12–16 hours depending on stops and routing, with overnight departures popular on this corridor. Buy long-haul tickets 1–2 days ahead during holidays; same-day seats usually exist midweek. For any broker selling "Rajput packages" near the terminal, verify them with our licence check guide before paying.
Mian Channu Stop
Mian Channu (Khanewal district) sits on the main Lahore–Karachi corridor about 30 km south of Chichawatni. Two practical notes travellers miss:
- Town adda vs bypass: some Lahore–Karachi services stop at the Mian Channu town adda; others only pause at the highway bypass — a different walk entirely. Ask which one your ticket uses.
- Timing pattern: if you're being dropped "near Mian Channu," confirm whether the coach actually enters town or stops at the N-5 pull-off on the edge.
Typical Fares (Ballpark)
Across Rajput's corridors, standard-class fares on short regional hops (Chichawatni–Multan, Mian Channu–Multan) generally run a few hundred rupees; long-haul Lahore–Multan sits in the PKR 1,000–2,000 band; Karachi–Lahore overnight services run higher with class differences. Diesel prices and Eid surcharges move these numbers constantly — treat every figure as a ballpark and confirm by phone or at the counter.
What to Ask When You Call or Visit
- Exact departure time and expected arrival at your destination
- Coach type — standard AC, non-AC, or executive
- Whether the fare includes refreshments or terminal fees
- Whether the coach enters town or uses the bypass (crucial at Chichawatni and Mian Channu)
- Parcel policy and rates if sending luggage separately
Booking Tips That Matter on These Routes
- Eid and harvest peaks: book 2–3 days ahead; seats sell out
- CNIC: carry it — motorway checkpoints record passenger details
- Class check: confirm "AC executive" means reclining seats with legroom on your specific coach, not just AC
- Night coaches: for Karachi routes, choose services with two drivers where offered
