Kyaiktiyo Pagoda also known as Golden Rock is a well-known Buddhist pilgrimage site in Mon state, Myanmar. the Golden Rock itself is precariously perched on a strand of the Buddha's hair.It is the third most important Buddhist pilgrimage site in Myanmar after the Shwedagon Pagoda(Yangon) and the Mahamuni Pagoda (Mandalay).

The Golden Rock tour is a great way to extend your Myanmar trip and experience the scenery and life in the area. Your English-speaking guide will come and pick you up at your hotel around 6 AM, then you will drive to Golden Rock (190KM from Yangon). Along the way, you will stop at the Allied War memorial park near HtaukKyan, the final resting place for over 27,000 Allied soldiers. When we arrive at the bottom of the mountain after 4 hours drive, we will transfer to an open trucks which will take about 45 minutes up to the hill. Pilgrims come here from far and wide to worship and add gold leaf to the rock, which seems to defy gravity by delicately balancing on the edge of the 1100 metre high mountain. Enjoy the panoramic 360 degree views of the surrounding Mon State Mountains from the summit and take some wonderful photos. Watch the people offer flowers and incense to this sacred site and listen to the monks’ chants. In the late afternoon, drive back to Yangon. Your tour day will end when you will be dropped off back at your hotel.
