Start from the central area of Pyay, such as the Pyay City Center or the local market. Head east on the main road (Mandalay Road) towards the Shwebo area, which will lead you out of the main town.

After about 2 kilometers, you will see directional signs for Shwebontharmuni Pagoda. Turn left onto the smaller road leading to the pagoda. Riding a bicycle will take around 10-15 minutes, depending on your speed.
