Travel Guide
The Lahore to Multan train route is one of Pakistan Railways' most important corridors, stretching 350 km across the country. The fastest trains complete the journey in approximately 3 hours, with Economy class tickets starting from Rs 350.
Why choose the train? Pakistan Railways connects Lahore and Multan through scenic countryside. The train offers significantly more legroom than buses, dining options, and the ability to walk between coaches. For overnight trips, AC Sleeper coaches include berths — a far more comfortable alternative to long bus rides.
Regular trains on this route include: Lahore Express 13DN, Karachi Express 16DN, Tezgam 8DN, and other Karachi-bound trains stop at Multan Cantt. Multiple departure windows are typically available — early morning, afternoon, and evening departures — with some overnight options ideal for longer journeys.
Booking tips: Book at least 7–14 days in advance online at booking.pakrail.gov.pk or at any Pakistan Railways booking counter. Eid holidays and school holidays require booking 4–6 weeks ahead. AC Sleeper class is strongly recommended for journeys over 8 hours.
At the station: Arrive 20 minutes before departure to locate your platform and coach. Carry your ticket (printed or digital) — inspectors board regularly. Large bags can be placed in overhead racks or beneath seats. For real-time updates, call helpline 117 (toll-free, 24/7).
