The better interchange for the west bank
For the towns on this side of the Indus, Larkana works better than Sukkur across the river. Shikarpur, Jacobabad and the roads west are all more easily reached from here.
Seven hours means an overnight or an early start
The route is long enough that a same day return is not realistic. Either take an evening service and arrive in the morning, or plan a night at the far end.
Arriving in Larkana is not arriving at the site
Mohenjo-daro is what brings most visitors this far, and it sits outside the city rather than in it. The bus ticket gets you to Larkana, not to the ruins.
A local ride out
Arrange transport in Larkana. It is a short journey but it is not part of your ticket.
Open ground, no shade
Upper Sindh summers are severe and the site offers little cover. Go early.
Arrive the night before
A morning at the site works far better than trying to fit it around a seven hour arrival.
How to plan it properly
Take an evening coach, sleep in Larkana, and go out to the site first thing. This is the same pattern as Taxila and Khewra: the name on the ticket is the town, not the thing you came to see, and pretending otherwise turns a good trip into a rushed one. Between May and September the early start is not a preference but the only comfortable window of the day.

Which is the best bus service from Karachi to Larkana?
Seven hours is long enough that the seat begins to matter.
Manthar Transport
Air conditioned economy at Rs 1,500, the lowest fare, an hour behind the quickest on a seven hour run.
DMC Coaches
Executive at Rs 2,150, working interior Sindh with counters along the Indus Highway.
Silk Line
Business at Rs 2,600, well below Faisal Movers at Rs 3,000 for a similar schedule.
The honest recommendation
Take DMC Coaches executive at about Rs 2,150 on an evening departure. Seven hours in an economy seat is a long night, and the Rs 650 over the cheapest ticket buys real comfort plus a regional operator’s counters. Silk Line at Rs 2,600 is the better Business option than paying Rs 3,000 for a similar schedule.
