Inland Transportation in Pakistan
Inland transportation from ports and warehouses to Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Sialkot, Multan, Peshawar, and Pakistan-wide destinations.
What is inland transportation?
Pakistan's motorway and national highway network connects Karachi Port to every major commercial city in the country. The M-9 motorway links the port area to the M-2 superhighway, which runs from Karachi through Lahore to Islamabad — the primary freight artery for containerized cargo. Road freight rates on the Karachi–Lahore corridor have risen to approximately Rs14,000 per ton as of April 2026 due to fuel price increases, making accurate freight estimates and efficient route planning a key buyer priority. PK Transporters covers the full national freight map: Karachi to Lahore (1,200 km, 2–3 days), Karachi to Islamabad (1,400 km, 3–5 days), and secondary routes to Faisalabad, Sialkot, Multan, Hyderabad, Sukkur, and Peshawar.
