A bus company in Pakistan has announced its decision to launch a private bus service between Islamabad and Tashkurgan, a city in China, following Eid-ul-Fitr.
According to a spokesperson for the company who spoke to Gwadar Pro, the service will commence on 13th May 2023, with the first phase involving the deployment of a mini-Utong bus capable of accommodating 28 passengers.
The journey, including the immigration process, is expected to take approximately 38 hours, with passengers staying overnight at the Sost border. The fare for the journey is estimated at Rs60,000.
To travel, individuals must have an original passport and copy, a valid original visa with its copy, and an invitation to China (visa category).
The service is available to all, including tourists and those travelling for business and official purposes. Given the service’s popularity, the company plans to expand it to cater to the needs of the people of both countries.
