A taxi ride from Peshawar to Islamabad is a straightforward intercity trip along mostly modern highways that takes you from Peshawar’s busy markets and historic streets to the planned avenues of the capital; travel time is typically a few hours depending on traffic and stops.
The route offers changing scenery—from flat agricultural plains to the rolling Potohar hills—as well as toll plazas and occasional checkpoints, so it’s wise to carry ID and any essentials. Passengers usually agree a fare beforehand or ask the driver to use the meter, and the service is a practical option for direct, door-to-door travel between the two cities.
