About the drive to Bahawalpur

Bahawalpur is close enough for an easy day trip: roughly 100 km south-east of Multan, crossing the Sutlej, usually under two hours each way. Many of our passengers are students and families visiting the Islamia University of Bahawalpur, or people heading to the city's hospitals and government offices.

It is also one of the best sightseeing trips from Multan. The white palaces of the former Bahawalpur state, Noor Mahal and Darbar Mahal, are in the city itself, and Lal Suhanra National Park and the edge of the Cholistan desert are a short drive further.

Travel notes

  • Easy day trip

    Under two hours each way leaves a full day in Bahawalpur, so most people book a car with driver for the day rather than one way.

  • Cholistan and Derawar Fort

    Derawar Fort sits deep in the Cholistan desert, well beyond Bahawalpur on desert tracks. If it is on your list, tell us in advance so we suggest an SUV and an early start.

  • Summer heat

    From May to August midday temperatures here regularly pass 45°C. Plan sightseeing for the morning and evening; all our cars are air-conditioned.

Multan to Bahawalpur: questions

Can I visit Bahawalpur and return to Multan the same day?
Yes, it is one of the easiest day trips from Multan. With under two hours of driving each way you still have most of the day in Bahawalpur.
Do you go to Derawar Fort and the Cholistan desert?
On request. Derawar is a long way into the desert on rough tracks, so we recommend an SUV and an early start. Tell us your plans on WhatsApp and we confirm the car and timings.
Can you drop students at Islamia University of Bahawalpur with their luggage?
Yes. For hostel move-in days a sedan with a large boot or an SUV works best. Tell us how many bags you have and we will suggest the right car.
