Lahore to Bahawalpur, with a driver

The road

An OpenStreetMap drive between the Wikipedia coordinates, checked on 30 Oct 2026, was 422.7 km and 4 hours 55 minutes. It used about 229 km of the M-3, about 91 km of the M-4, then the N-5, including the Lodhran Bypass, and Multan Road into the city. Wikipedia’s motorway table lists the M-3, Lahore–Abdul Hakeem, as 230 km, and the M-4, Pindi Bhattian–Multan, as 309 km. The M-3 article also says the N-5 distance from Lahore to Multan is 323 km on the NHA website. Bahawalpur is past Multan, at the edge of the Cholistan Desert, and the gateway to Lal Suhanra National Park. The Multan page stops earlier on this corridor.

Tolls

ProPakistani, on 10 July 2026, reported the NHA car toll for the whole M-3, Lahore–Abdul Hakeem, as PKR 1,000. This route uses essentially that motorway. The same notice lists PKR 1,350 for a car on the whole M-4, Pindi Bhattian–Faisalabad–Multan. This trip uses only about 91 km of the M-4, so PKR 1,350 is not the Bahawalpur toll. On the N-5 the notice lists PKR 100 for a car on national highways, which is the notified rate, not a plaza count. Confirm the tolls on WhatsApp. They are extra.

Rest stops

The OpenStreetMap route names the Lodhran Bypass on the N-5, so Lodhran is the stop after the motorway and before Bahawalpur. Plan the break there rather than on the M-4 stretch, which this page does not assign a service-area name.
