This is an excellent day return trip to Golden Rock from Yangon. Perfect for those who wanted to get away outside Yangon only in a day and particularly interested to see why this place is so special, famous and important Buddhist's site. Leaving Yangon at 7:00 a.m and we'll be passing through Bago city, Htauk Kyant Allied War cemetery, beautiful countryside of Myanmar, Sittaung River and finally get into Kyaikhto Township. A truck car ride up and down hills from Kimpun Base Camp together with local pilgrims will be a great fun. Golden Rock is located about 3600 feet above the sea level. Entrance fees, simple breakfast, lunch, a private A/C car, guide and truck car fees will be covered.

Due to Covid-19 we have been 'stuck in Yangon for 5 months. The Government opened up domestic travel and we contacted Zaw Min Oo @ Jack. He arranged our accomodations, flight to Mandalay, road trips to Bagan, Kalaw and Inle Lake (smaller flight routes still not operational) and flight back from HeHo. The 10days were absolutely amazing. We stopped at many little places along our travels off the tourist track. The tours were informative and interesting and he didn't spare the effort to make it as fascinating and interesting as possible. It was like travelling with a friend, not a tour guide. Jack's passion for his country is contagious. Highly recommended.

Kyaiktiyo Pagoda is built on the top of a mountain and one of Myanmar's most prominent pilgrimage sites. According to legend, the rock and pagoda were placed here atop a strand of the Buddha's hair over two thousand years ago by a celestial king. While there's much debate around historical accuracy, the panoramic views from the Rock are stunning.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Experienced English Speaking Guide, Lunch, Golden Rock Entrance Fee, Bottled water, Open air truck ride to Golden Rock base camp

Karen and our driver were great. They showed us all around the city, and a couple of places that were on the agenda that we had already seen were swapped out for alternate destinations with no difficulty (even though I am sure it messed up their planned schedule) The knowledge of the sites and her expert photo taking both added a huge amount to what was already a great trip. Highly recommended.

For our trip to Myanmar they provided a perfect service. The visit to Chin state was simply awesome: the driver/guide who accompanied us was very friendly and careful with local people. We visited private houses where we could talk to the tattoo women and have a real feeling of their traditions. Everything in full respect of their privacy. It was the best part of our trip!!! Nevertheless, their knowledge of Italian language, made everything easier. We made all the arrangement via mail: their response was very quick and efficient; beside that, Flora also speaks fluent Italian and this made everything easier. If you are planning to visit this beautiful Country and want to have a real "local experience" just get in contact with them!!

Kyaikhtiyo is the largest domestic tourism center. It stands on a gilded boulder precariously perched on the edge of the hill over 3615 feet above sea level. There are many legends about the pagoda and Nat (Spirit Gods) shrines along the way from the base camp to the pagoda. There is also a popular belief that a person gains in wealth every time he climbs the hill. It is a test of one’s endurance and is very exhilarating once a person has reached the summit. Kyaikhto Hotel located on the hillside is the full view of the pagoda. The season of pilgrimage is from October to May. Our coach has to stop at Kinpun Basecamp. From there we have to use an open truck which is normally used for hilly track up to the mountain too. To Yathae Hill, you can also reach by trekking from the base camp. Porters and palanquins are available to carry luggage and pilgrims who are too old or weak.

Inclusions: Drinking water and towel during excursion, Entrance fees and zone fees for the visits mentioned in the program, Meals included lunch as mentioned in the program, Sightseeing with professional English speaking local tour guide, Private air-con vehicle with drivers for transfers and excursions as...

This trip was outstanding. My guide, Ms San San Shwe was a font of knowledge, carefully planned the day to correspond with the heat and was happy to oblige with a side trip to ‘The Lady’s House’ to satisfy a bit of hero worship on my part. The circular railway was a great deal of fun also, but it was Ms Shwe’s knowledge, bubbly enthusiasm and obvious love of her country that won me over. If this is your first time in Myanmar, this is a must do tour. I was sooooo impressed.

The Golden Rock is one of the best spots to create your best Myanmar impression after driving around 4 hours from Yangon. Not only a day excursion but also one night trip will be worth your time and you are sure to receive the experience of a rough riding up and down with the truck before arriving to this impressive rock. After heading up the only path towards the Golden Rock which will take about 15 minutes walk, we will see the people praying and the vendors selling the local products, and can enjoy the special mystic atmosphere with scenic view of the rock. The stunning rock may always be surrounded by local people while it is in the festival time. The existence of the golden rock on the edge of the cliff is breathtaking and it will leave you speechless and miraculous. It is all about that we can find happiness and peace of mind by viewing and paying respects to it from every possible place.

Inclusions: Private transportation, English speaking guide for sightseeing, Government Tax and Service charges, Hotel/port pickup and drop-off, Lots of love and smile, Toll fee and fuel charges for car, TripAdvisor Experiences brokerage fee, Truck in Golden Rock, Water and snow towel on tour
