The journey from Heho to Kalaw takes around one hour by taxi and costs K30,000; you may be able to save money by booking your taxi in advance through your hotel. Cheaper options are pick-up trucks or buses, but these are far less convenient – and must be picked up from the town of Heho, which is three kilometres south east of the airport. There are currency exchange and Visa and Mastercard ATM facilities at Heho airport, although they are not always open or functioning. If you find yourself waiting for a flight, there are a number of simple restaurants just to the north of the terminal building.
