Mon State
Kyaikhtiyo (Golden Rock)
From Bago you travel to east across the
Sittaung Bridge to Kyaiktiyo. Upon reaching Kinpun Base
Camp after 2-hour drive, you will be transferred into
open trucks for a spectacular ride up the Hermit Hill
Base Camp. Make your own pilgrimage up to the mystical
Golden Rock where the men apply gold leaves to the rock's
surface. A 5.5-meter high pagoda, resting atop a huge
gold-gilded boulder, precariously perched high on the
edge of
the hill will make you unbelievable!.
