Stop At: Kyaiktiyo Pagoda, Kin Pun Myanmar

Time and tide wait for no man. That’s why this excursion to Golden Rock leaves Yangon early in the morning. After approximately five hours you'll arrive in Kinpun, the base camp of Mt. Kyaiktiyo. Here you'll rest before boarding open trucks that take you up the mountain. From Yathetaung, you can either take a cable car (10 minutes) to the summit or hike it (~1 hour).

Once atop the 1,100 metre mountain, you’ll be at one of Myanmar’s top pilgrimage sights. The Kyaiktiyo Pagoda, a magnificent gilded stupa upon a massive golden rock, seemingly defying gravity and amazing thousands of visitors each year. After enjoying the spectacular panoramic views and the serenity of the Golden Rock, you’ll head back to Kinpun and then Yangon.
