Day (06) Yangon-Bago-Golden Rock (by coach)
Breakfast. Early morning, drive out of Yangon to the Ancient Capital of MON Kingdom, Bagao ( Pegu ), about 80 kilometres northeast of Yangon. Tour highlights include Kyaik Pun Buddha Images four 30 metre high Buddha figures seated back to back; Kyakhatwine Teaching Monastery; Wood Carving Workshop; Kanbawza Thadi Palace, built by King Bayintnaung in 15th Century. It is a great archaeological site in Bago; 55 metres long Shwethalyaung reclining Buddha image; Cheroot Making Cottage Industry; Shwemawdaw Pagoda, over a thousand years old, its spire is even taller than the Shwedagon Pagoda. From Bago, drive through seemingly endless paddy fields to the small town of Kyaikto (114 km - 3 hours) and on to the ' base camp ' of Kimpun. Transfer to light truck and drive about 45 minutes to the transit camp and walk up the path which climbs steeply to the legendary ' Golden Rock '. ( The climb takes around 1 hours and those unwilling , or not fit enough, to walk can hire four porters to carry them in a sedan chair at an extra cost of approximately US$ 10 per person). The incredible ' Golden Rock ' sits precariously on top of the mountain, and is said to balance thanks to a precisely placed hair of Buddha.Overnight at MOUNTAIN TOP HOTEL (SUPERIOR ROOM).
