For those with a little extra time and energy this is a great extension trip. Explore local villages and markets and trek for one hour to see the amazing Golden Rock.
Depart Yangon early by road to Kyaikhtiyo and the Golden Rock. Travel by local, open-air truck along a winding road where you will be dropped off at the junction camp to travel the final distance to Golden Rock on foot. The uphill trek is along a paved trekking path and offers great views of the surrounding area. For an easier alternative, four porters can carry you uphill in a specially-made sedan chair allowing you to enjoy the views without all of the hard work! (extra cost not included) After one hour of trekking, reach the Golden Rock. A huge boulder covered by gold leaf and delicately balanced on the edge of a cliff, Golden Rock is one of Myanmar's main pilgrimage sites. B.
After breakfast, return to the basecamp by open-air truck and begin the return journey to Yangon. En-route, stop in Bago at the local market, then visit Shwethalyaung Temple which houses a beautiful 55-meter long reclining Buddha and take a short walk to a nearby Mon weaving village. Continue to the Mon-style Shwemawdaw Pagoda, one of the most venerated in Myanmar. Depending on the day we may be able to catch a performance of nat pwe, a spiritual dance performance in honor of Myanmar’s 37 nat spirits. The final stop before Yangon is the Allied War Cemetery near Htaukkyan. B.
