08.30AM: The Golden Rock tour begins when you see the tour guide at meeting point - The Immanuel Baptist Church (next to the Mahabandoola Garden near Yangon city hall).

After 1.5-hour drive via Burmese countryside filled up with green rice paddy fields, we arrive in Shwethalyaung Pagoda where you will have time to visit the reclining Buddha Statue. The Buddha, which has a length of 55 metres and a height of 16 metres, is believed to have been built in 994, during the reign of Mon King Migadepa.

Continue to visit the Kya Khat Waing Monastery where you can study about Myanmar Buddhist Monastic life. Over 500 monks take their lunch at 11:00 AM at dining room.

After lunch in a local restaurant, go ahead to Golden Rock in Kyaiktiyo (or Golden Rock Pagoda). Arriving at the base camp of Kin Pun, we continue driving on the path (in open truck) to the famous Golden Rock, a familiar image in any Myanmar travel guide. Then enjoy a light trek to the summit to be overwhelmed by the charming sunset.

Being particular by precarious position, the famous Golden Rock covered by gold leaf is an important site of Buddhist pilgrimage as well as an important symbol of Myanmar culture and religion. You can ask your experienced guide to understand more about origin of this site. If lucky, you can see the traditional activities of pilgrimage season here. Explore about the pagoda and then drive back to guesthouse for overnight. Dinner on your own and overnight at hotel.

08.30AM: After breakfast at hotel, drive to Bago via rice fields and small towns and then we will arrive at this former Mon Kingdom, which was founded in 15th century. Visit local market, landmarks, especially the Kanbawzathadi Palace constructed by King Bayinnaung and KalayaniSima (Ordination Hall).

Continue to visit Shwemawdaw Paya - one of attractions we should not miss. This Pagoda known as Myanmar’s tallest pagoda. Round off the day with an exploration at Kyauk Pun Pagoda.

On the way drive back to Yangon, we will take time visiting Taukkyan War Cemetery, which is now rest place for allied soldiers from the British Commonwealth who died in battle in Myanmar during Second World War. Finish the trip at meeting point of The Immanuel Baptist Church.
