Getting there & away
Bus services often involve unscheduled stops, known as breakdowns. Buses leave Hsipaw at 6am for Mandalay (K5000), stopping in Pyin U Lwin. Buses also head to Lashio (K2000, two hours), 72km northeast.
Most people go by share taxi to or from Mandalay (per person K8000, four hours). Taxis to Lashio cost K3500.
The train to Pyin U Lwin crosses the Gokteik Gorge and is revered as one of Myanmar’s most beautiful rides, though the carriages can rock like a horse. It’s supposed to leave Hsipaw at 9.30am daily but is often late.
