GT Road Condition (LHR-RWP)

[IsbCap]

Cement track (where ever it has been built) is better than the other portion.
I believe you sir

Alright. Will take snapshots of the big "Khadda's" in that cement/concrete track during my next visit.

My last visit was 3-4 months ago. Maybe they have done some magical stuff in this period (else, I always have bad experience till Mandra)

Diesel vehicles are economical on motorway comparative to gt road.

And so is a properly tuned EFI petrol. My father with a fuel guzzler carby 1.3 also calculated that his journey on MW consumed lesser fuel than GT road.

One side road has been built and mandra rawat road is under construction.
Travel thrice a week

If you leave at 6 AM then it'll take 3.5 - 4 hrs to get to pindi at speeds of 100 - 120 km/h. The bad potholes mentioned in this thread are only near tarkai that too in the truck cemented lanes. If you are driving on the speed limit you'll easily be able to avoid them. Definitely saves fuel and a more lively journey. However have to be careful going through the cities.

Isn't peace of mind+ relaxing drive, and the probability/ less risk of accident on motorway enough of a reason to not go on GT road unless you are visiting of of the towns on that route! I took the mistake of GT road over motorway once.. and never done it again.

Guys, Is it safe to travel GT road from lahore to ISB on bike? I have heard that Jehlum area is not secure for bikers due to less traffic and population. Please suggest

Xoofi bhai if I go to ISB with my wife, what do you suggest where to stay. Not hi fi hotel, just economical for one night stay.

[huraiz]

There are few bad patches and roadworks around mandra n rawat but nothing drastic.Still if I had to do isb-Lahore I'll use motorway.

[dr3vil]

once got mislead and went from lahore to pindi on GT road
it was epic and insane
most of the day our top speed was 70kph
we reached pindi in almost 6.5 hours
after that M1 even ppl with us who were not driving were insisting to go on GT road all way to peshawar but we had enough of ********

Yaar i have always stayed in budget hotels (kion ke shhhadi nahi hui abhi tak).. wese check habib hotel in sitara market.. i found it reasonable in price and environment. There is one capri guest house in F 6 but its on a bit higher side.

Continental guest house in F6. They will charge 2500/night.
Economical and clean. Families stay there often

just went from lahore to jhelum on gt road, traffic is as usual congested and bad, top speed ever was 95km and avg speed indicated by computer was 56 and even though gt road is nearly 100km short it didn't seem like it in time, however as my first time driving on gt road i found it really fun, motorway is boring this is exciting and lively all the way, just make sure your suspension is perfect:P the road surface is bad and i mean bad, full of bumps and holes

oh and if anybody cares i reset the computer once before getting on gt road and after getting of at jhelum the avg fuel consumption was 18.9km/l whereas on motorway it never goes above 16to 17km/l in same car so gt road is a bit more economical

They do not have any board outside the house, may be because of saving tax or something.

We stayed in bigger room.. double bed + single bed + 2 mattresses and it was 4000. I think the regular double bed room was available in 2500

And sorry for late reply.. I was trying to find their visiting card.. aaj mila hai
