Lahore to Neelum Valley by car from Welcome Rent A Car: clear prices, clean cars and a quick WhatsApp booking, day or night.
Lahore to Neelum Valley – the trip
From Lahore it is about 520 km to Neelum Valley – 9–10 hours of driving via M-2 + Murree + Muzaffarabad. Most of it is mountain road after Islamabad, which is why we send drivers who have done this route many times and suggest an SUV or 4×4, or a Hiace for groups. Northern tours are booked with our driver only, never self drive.
A suggested plan
- Lahore to Muzaffarabad via Islamabad and Murree.
- Up the valley to Keran and Sharda.
- Kel and Arang Kel by chairlift.
- Back to Muzaffarabad and on to Lahore, or a night in Murree on the way.
Change anything you like – add a night, skip a place, or start from Islamabad. Send your dates and hotel bookings and we will plan the drive around them.
Don't miss

- Sharda
