Goods transport
Moving goods from Kohat back to Islamabad is a well-run medium-haul corridor — usually the Indus Highway and the Kohat Tunnel, with a Shehzore or Mazda for a house move, or a covered truck for bulk given the tunnel and hill section. It books the same way as the outbound leg: a verified transporter and a fixed, all-in price agreed on WhatsApp before the move. The Kohat Tunnel is the defining feature of this route — it bypasses the old steep pass, but the approach is still hill terrain, so an experienced driver and a sensibly-loaded vehicle matter. Movers generally treat it as a same-day-to-next-day corridor by load size, and covered transport is preferred so goods are protected through the tunnel run and the higher ground either side.

The right vehicle for this route is usually a Shehzore or Mazda for a house move, or a covered truck for bulk given the tunnel and hill section. We recommend the correct size once we know your load, then agree a fixed, all-in price before the move — so there are no surprises on the day.

Good to know
Return-leg pricing depends on your load size, the vehicle (a Shehzore or Mazda for a house move, or a covered truck for bulk given the tunnel and hill section) and access at both ends — so transporters quote a fixed, all-in price per trip rather than a fixed list rate.

Most transporters on this corridor run it both ways via the Indus Highway and the Kohat Tunnel, so return and one-way Kohat → Islamabad moves are common. Mention it’s the return leg when you enquire and they’ll quote accordingly.
Yes — the Kohat Tunnel on the Indus Highway carries traffic under the pass, which makes the approach far easier than the old road. It is still hill country, so an experienced driver is worth having.
As a rough guide: a Suzuki pickup or Shehzore suits small loads and short distances; a Mazda handles a typical full house; a 20–40ft container or a 10-wheeler truck is for bulk, commercial or long-haul cargo. The mover will recommend the right size for your move.
Many do — house shifting is commonly booked with loaders and labour, and some offer packing materials too. Say whether you want labour and packing included so the quote reflects it.
