Buses depart from Hlaing Thar Yar bus station (also known as Dagon Ayar) in Yangon - this is a different bus station to the one you would use for most other destinations in the country.

Buses drop you off in Ngwe Saung village, where you will likely be confronted by a number of touts offering you hotel rooms. Some hotels will pick you up if you have booked in advance, otherwise motorcycle taxis are easy to find and should cost no more than K1500 to most hotels.
