Early morning, drive out of YANGON to the Ancient Capital of MON Kingdom, BAGO (Pegu), about 80 kilometres northeast of YANGON. Tour highlights include KYAIK PUN BUDDHA IMAGES four 30 metre high Buddha figures seated back to back; 55 meters long SHWETHALYAUNG reclining Buddha image; 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 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). The incredible 'GOLDEN ROCK' sits precariously on top of the mountain, and is said to balance thanks to a precisely placed hair of Buddha. Weather permitting, sunset view from MOUNT KYAIKTIYO are amazing. Overnight in Kyaiktiyo.

Breakfast. Morning, visit to the KYAIKTIYO PAGODA (Golden Rock). After paying visit to the GOLDEN ROCK, climb down and drive back by light truck to your car/minibus to the base camp at Kinpun. Afternoon, drive back to YANGON.
