Best will be take motorway, Islamabad-Lahore-N5, its dual carriageway, easy to drive. Sindh is safe I always travel at night, reason is no traffic, no tractors, no bikers and no kids playing on the roadside.

[HanifBhatti]

I have traveled on all routes, the shortcuts takes more time cause most of the places its single lane. Car consumes more fuel then on N5, reason is you have to do continues shifting/braking while overtaking tractors and trucks.

and is it fine to go with 2008 cultus or should i choose something else?bcz cultus is my own car i have to arrange another car from someone else?

[HanifBhatti]

Cultus is a good car, you wont have any problems in it... You can come nonstop without resting your car...
You will make tea/fuel/food right? Cultus will rest on those stops

About Sindh, I always travel at night and its safe..... If you have issues traveling at night then why dont to stop in Sadiqabad for night stay, Midway hotel on N5 is best option, about 5k per night... From Sadiqabad it will take around 10 hours with few stops on the way.

Any problems with the car on the road, call 130, help will be there in 15 minutes

Yes its fine if you can drive for long hours, just keep in mind that dont take risk, if you feel sleepy, stop at a roadside hotel and take a 20 mins nap
