The west bank operator
DMC Coaches works the Larkana road as core network, running down the west bank through Sehwan and Dadu towards Karachi. That makes it the operator most likely to know the towns either side of Larkana, and the one to check if your journey continues south rather than ending here.
Changing at Sukkur
If the direct timetable does not suit, Sukkur has nine operators and frequent local transport west to Larkana. On a route where a missed departure costs half a day, that is a fallback worth keeping in mind rather than accepting an awkward hour.
Larkana is the base for Mohenjo-daro
The Indus Valley site sits outside the city and is not served by intercity coach, so the bus journey gets you to the base rather than the destination.
By road from Larkana
Local transport or a hired vehicle. Arrange it in the city rather than expecting anything scheduled.
November to February
Summer on this plain is severe and the site has almost no shade, which makes the winter months the sensible window.
Allow a full day
Arriving overnight and visiting the same morning works well, since the heat builds through the afternoon.
Planning it properly
Take an evening departure from Lahore, arrive in the morning, and see the site that day. Eleven and a half hours overnight puts you in Larkana with the cool part of the day still ahead, which matters more here than the class you travelled in. Book the return before you go, because the northbound timetable from Larkana is thinner than the southbound one that brought you here.

Which is the best bus service from Lahore to Larkana?
Everyone runs the same motorway to Sukkur, so the difference is who knows the west bank once the motorway ends.
DMC Coaches
Executive at Rs 4,800 and business at Rs 5,200, working the Larkana road through Sehwan and Dadu as its core network.
Pakistan Express
Air conditioned economy at Rs 3,900, the lowest fare, an hour behind the quickest on a twelve hour run.
Faisal Movers
Business at Rs 5,700 with 30 kg luggage and a cancellation window, useful on a route where rebooking is hard.
The honest recommendation
Take DMC Coaches executive at about Rs 4,800 on an evening departure. It is the operator built around this stretch of the west bank, and on a twelve hour journey the Rs 900 over the cheapest ticket buys a better seat and staff who can advise on the onward leg to the site. Daewoo Luxury at Rs 6,800 is a reclining seat, not a berth, which is a lot to pay for the same overnight run.
