TMDY # 6 Kyaikhtiyo – The Golden Rock (2 days / 1 nights)

Day 1: Yangon – Kyaikhtiyo
Early this morning, enjoy a scenic journey by road to Kyaikhtiyo, 190 km to the east. It is Myanmar’s one of the most sacred sights, a huge golden-leafed boulder balanced precariously on the edge of a cliff. The pagoda at the Golden Rock is said to house a single hair of the Buddha. Late morning, arrive at Kyaikhtiyo base camp and transfer to the pick up truck for one hour ride to the transit junction. Continue for one hour of light hiking up to the summit. Overnight in Kyaikhtiyo.

Day 2 – Kyaikhtiyo – Bago - Yangon
After breakfast, return to the base-camp by truck and return by road to Yangon stopping at Bago to visit the Shwemawdaw Pagoda and the Shwethalyaung Reclining Buddha. Enroute visit the Allied War Cemetery near Htaukkyant (the final resting place for over 27,000 allied soldiers), and a local woven bamboo workshop. Transfer back to Yangon.
