Kyaikhtiyo

Kyaikhtiyo is the location of the incredible balancing boulder stupa. The small stupa sits atop the Gold Rock, a massive, gold leafed boulder delicately balanced on the edge of a cliff at the top of Mt. Kyaikto, over 1100m above sea level. Kyaiktiyo is one of the most sacred Buddhist sites in Myanmar. It is an 11km up-hill climb for the hikers from Kinpun base comp. There is also a steep winding road for 4-wheel drive cars from the base nearest point of the pagoda. There are many legends about the pagoda and the ‘nats’ or ‘sprits’.

Mawlamyine was the administrative centre of British Burma from 1827 to 1852 and is today the fourth largest city in Myanmar. Mawlamying, a charming town, is the capital of Mon State, situated at the mouth of the Thanlwin River (Salween River). Many old colonial building remain along the quiet streets, with traditional wooden buses still used as the principle form of transportation. It is easily accessible by road and rail from Yangon.
