The Golden Rock Tour
2 Days

Itinerary

Day 1 - Kyaikhtiyo

• By vehicle from Yangon to Kyaikhtiyo with sightseeing at Bago
From Yangon, head west towards BAGO, a historic city originally founded in 573 AD by Thamala and Wimala, two Mon brothers of noble birth. Visit a typical LOCAL MONASTERY to observe the daily lives of the monks, then continue the lifelike SHWETHALYAUNG RECLINING BUDDHA; the highly venerated SHWEMAWDAW PAYA, which has housed hair relics of the Buddha for over 1000 years. Highlights also include the KYAIK PUN PAYA, with four giant Buddas seated back to back against a square pillar, and the MAHA KALYANI SIMA, or 'Sacred Hall or Ordination'. Afterwards, continue to Kyaitkhtiyo.
• Overnight in Kyaikhtiyo.

Day 2 - Kyaikhtiyo

• Visit Kyaikhtiyo (the Golden Rock)
KYAIKHTIYO: One of the most sacred pilgrimage sites in Myanmar, the shrine at the top of Mt. Kyaikto seems to defy gravity. Perched on the edge of a sheer cliff is a giant golden boulder topped with a gleaming stupa. Particularly stunning at sunset and sunrise, when a magical atmosphere suffuses the shrine.
• By vehicle from Kyaikhtiyo to Yangon
From Kyaikhtiyo, head towards Yangon through scenic countryside dotted with rice paddies and streams. Stop enroute to observe local people in their daily activities, visiting a MON WEAVING VILLAGE, as well as a POTTERY VILLAGE and BASKETRY VILLAGE. Before reaching Yangon, pay a short visit to the HTAUK KYAN ALLIED WAR CEMETERY.
