This is my first post . Since i know that most of the indian people are not familiar about routes and mode of transportatio in pakistan, therefore , i have tried to add even minor details.
yesterday ( october 23,2012,Tuesday), i started my journey from my native Town, Lahore to Islamabad . I used my City 2005 for this tour.Total distance via G.T road is 310 km (oneway). G.T road is 6 lanes road (3 lanes each side) with proper divider throughout the route. Since it is not a Motorway, hence third lane( left side) is open and like in india, cycles,bullcarts and pedestrian use this side with free entry and exit. Two lanes (each side) are used by motorist and commercial vehilces.
From my residence, to avoid rush i have to take Motorway ( again 6 lanes with closed left sides and no slow moving vehicles) . Total distance on motorway till my exit is 42 km. then i have to travel on G.T road.
I passed through Kalashah kaku, Muridke,Gujaranwala and Gujrat . All these cities and towns are industrial towns. I reached Jehlum at around 8:30 am and refuelled CNG. Total cost was Rs.910 from 10.2kgs. Then after passing through Dina, Gujjar Khan and reached Islamabad.Total distance covered was 315 KM and time taken was 4hours and 45 minutes. After meeting, i again started my journey to Lahore. Took light lunch at Gujarkhan, reached Jehlum and refuelled from the same CNG station. This time cost was Rs. Rs 826 . Jehlum-Islamabad-jehlum distance is 232 Km. Toll tax one way from Lahore to Islamabad is Rs.155 oneway. I reached Lahore after a brief stay at Gujrat at about 8:15 pm. I enjoyed light rain from Jehlum till Lahore.
Other route which is widely used now is through M-2 motorway. This is 367 k long 6 lane motorway. Since i was travelling alone hence i could not take photographs.
