Golden Rock (Kyaiktiyo)

"Just a strand of the Buddha's hair ..."


The third most importand Buddhist pilgrim destination is about 200 km north-east of Yangon.

The rock and the pagoda are on the top of Mt. Kyaiktiyo.

 

Hiking up all the way to the Golden Rock takes about 5 hours.

If you don't want to walk all the way you can catch an overcrowded open-air truck.

It will bring you up almost all of the way.
