Early Breakfast at hotel. Drive to Kyaikhtiyo - Golden Rock via Bago - ancient capital of Mons as well as Myanmar Second Dynasty (Hansawaddy Dynasty) situated about 80 km north-east of Yangon.
Lunch at local restaurant in Kyaikhto before continue to Kin Pun “base camp”.
Continue to Kyaikhtiyo, the Golden Rock, a huge boulder completely covered by gold leave sand delicately balanced on the edge of a cliff. From Kin Pun, a steep and rough 11 km dirt road leads to the upper staging point, a journey made in open trucks, which are compulsory and very crowded. From the “upper area”, traveller must at present walk the final stage, approximately 4 km up steep paths, which ascend some 500m to the Golden Rock. As an easier alternative to walking, visitors can be carried in sedan chairs by four porters at an extra cost of approximately US$ 15 p.p. (Guest’s own account). Watch the beauty of sunset or dawn at this important pilgrimage site.
Dinner at local restaurant and overnight stay at hotel in Kyaikhtiyo.
