Scenic Journey from Yangon to the Golden Rock
Close
Leaving Yangon in the morning, you'll enjoy a scenic journey by road for your Golden Rock tour. The Golden Rock is an amazing sight and one of the three most famous religious sites in Myanmar. Kyaiktiyo Pagoda is a small pagoda built on the top of a granite boulder covered with gold leaves pasted on by its male devotees. The golden rock itself looks like it could tumble into the ravine at any moment but luckily, a few well-placed Buddha hairs stop it doing so.
