Private Day Return Trip to Golden Rock from Yangon
We're sorry. This tour is no longer available.
Overview
Kyaiktiyo Pagoda is built on the top of a mountain and one of Myanmar's most prominent pilgrimage sites.
According to legend, the rock and pagoda were placed here atop a strand of the Buddha's hair over two thousand years ago by a celestial king. While there's much debate around historical accuracy, the panoramic views from the Rock are stunning.

What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
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.
Duration: 3 hours

Thoroughly recommend this excursion! Karen was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable and easy to get on with. It's a long journey from Yangon to Kyaikto but totally worth it. The open top truck to the final summit is not for the fainthearted, but a lot of fun all the same! The views of the Golden Rock and beyond are stunning. Thanks Karen for a great day!Similar tours
