Mardan Getting there & around

Getting there & around

The general bus stand is the hub of all long- and short-distance transport. Minibuses go throughout the day to Takht-i-Bahi (Rs 10, 15 minutes), Shahbaz Garhi (Rs 10, 15 minutes) and Charsadda (Rs 20, 30 minutes). Minibuses also go to Peshawar (R40s, one hour), Mingora (Rs 80, three hours) and Rawalpindi (Rs 90, three hours). Bigger buses run to Peshawar and Rawalpindi for about two-thirds of the price, while slightly more expensive Coasters go to Peshawar from a stand west of the train line.

Tongas in Mardan cost around Rs 15. Day hire for a taxi if you want to explore sites further out is around Rs 2500 according to your haggling skills.
