Getting There

  If you are in the city center of Mandalay, head towards the Mandalay Railway Station. From there, walk north on 84th Street until you reach the intersection with 26th Street. Turn left on 26th Street and continue walking until you reach the Myitnge Bridge. Cross the bridge to enter the Myitnge area. Once across the bridge, you will see signs pointing toward Kyauksein Pagoda. Continue along the main road until you reach the pagoda, which will be on your right. The total distance is approximately 4 kilometers and should take about 1 hour to walk.

• Trishaw

  From your location in Mandalay, you can hire a trishaw to take you directly to Kyauksein Pagoda. Negotiate the fare with the driver before starting your journey. A typical fare from the city center to the pagoda is around 2,000 to 3,000 kyats. The ride will take approximately 15-20 minutes depending on traffic conditions. Just tell the driver 'Kyauksein Pagoda' or show them the pagoda image on your phone to avoid any confusion.

• Public Bus

  For a more budget-friendly option, you can take a public bus. Head to the nearest bus station and look for buses heading towards Myitnge. The buses are usually marked with their destination. Ask locals or the bus conductor for assistance if you're unsure which bus to take. Once you're on the bus, inform the conductor that you're going to Kyauksein Pagoda. After about 30 minutes, get off when you see the signs for the pagoda. Walk a short distance to reach the entrance. The total cost should be around 500 kyats.
