DAY 2 > YANGON – BAGO – GOLDEN ROCK (KYAIKHTIYO)
After breakfast, we drive 1.5hrs/80km to BAGO, one of richest archeological sites in Myanmar and the ancient capital of Mon Kingdom which is one of the richest archeological sites in Myanmar. Our Bago highlights include the beautiful SHWETHALYAUNG 55m long reclining Buddha and the tallest, 114m high golden spire pagoda in Myanmar, the SHWEMAWDAW PAGODA. And then visit to KANBAWZATHARDI PALACE of King Bayinnaung. We continue 3.3hrs/110km to KIN PUN base camp to change our mode of transport to an open truck.

The ride is shared with local pilgrimage makers for the next 11km to YATHAETAUNG base camp, located 500m below the summit ridge. A further, 1hr hikes up a partly on steep road and paved trail leads us to the summit. The GOLDEN ROCK, or Kyaiktiyo as the Burmese call it, is a fascinating sacred boulder covered in gold leaf and balanced precariously on the edge of a cliff. Crowning the boulder is a small shrine believed to contain Buddha’s hair relics, the source of the gravity defying magic. A continual stream of pilgrims from Myanmar and Asia come to witness the wonder at least once in their life time. Enjoy the tranquil sunset, soak in the unique atmosphere and share in wonder with fellow monk, nun, and lay pilgrims.
