its 12000 /- for the cabin fr6000 per person plus if you have kids under 10 they can travel free, my friend recently went to lahore from karachi by night coach with his 6 and 8 year old kids , whereas if you travel by a regular pakistan railway train you have to pay half of kids over 5

Shalimar Night Coach AC Sleeper is the best available option. You should opt for it. Not sure about breakfast which u can ask at counter while booking the ticket.

@xoofi dear,

Kindly guide me what is best option/most comfortable and safe to travel from KHI to Lahore in December. I will be with wife and 2 younger kids (4 and 10) so sleeping berth are required and also essential to have a clean washroom facility. I am not picky on travel time and price to get the required service.

Thanks and Regards,

Dear @xoofi,
Thanks for the advice.
IF shalimar express is better than business express or green line? And if it also has wifi/lunch/dinner included?
What about luggage, if it stays in cabin with passengers or separate storage?
Regards,

Xoofi (Xoofi) 2015-11-20 02:34:44 +0500 #55

Business exp and greenline r good but they doesnt have ac sleeper class. They only have business class which is 6 person cabin so 2 persons will be unknown in ur cabin. Also business class doesnt have attached washroom, it has common washroom near entrance of coach.

Shalimar doesnt have lunch/dinner included. They had wifi before but not sure if its still working in shalimar. Luggage remains with urself unless it is something of big volume then u will have to book it in brake van.

Dear @xoofi,

Thanks again mate. Hopefully one last question. How is tezgam AC sleeper compared to Shalimar AC sleeper?

And you being a Karachite, what activities/places you recommend for us to see in 3 days. My list already has Mazar-e-quaid, manora, PN dockyard, Jinnah Museum, PAF and PN Mueseums. Any place you recommend else, esp. for kids of 4/10 years?

Regards,

Xoofi (Xoofi) 2015-11-20 14:16:13 +0500 #57

Both have same coaches.. shalimar has better services.

Zoo can also be visited. A day trip to keenjhar lake in thatta would be quite good.

Dear @Xoofi,

I checked the timings of shalimar, but they are very inconvenient reaching Lahore after midnight.

What train with AC Sleeper (4 people cabin + attached toilet) is good to travel from KHI to LHR but with decent timings of leaving KHI and reaching Lahore?

The other alternates I see are Karakorum Express and Night Coach. Kindly rate their travel.

U checked wrong shalimar.. check for night coach express operated by shalimar group. Leaves 7 pm and reaches destination 1 pm next day

Thanks Dear @xoofi, If this night coach has 2 passenger cabins? If these 2 seat cabins also has private washroom?
