DAY 2 : KYAIKHTIYO – YANGON
Visit Kyaikhtiyo (the Golden Rock), one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites in Myanmar, the shrine at the top of Mt. Kyaikto seems to defy gravity. Perched on the edge of a sheer cliff is a giant golden boulder topped with a gleaming stupa. Particularly stunning at sunset and sunrise, when a magical atmosphere suffuses the shrine.
From Kyaikhtiyo, head towards Yangon through scenic countryside dotted with rice paddies and streams. Proceed to Yangon with short stop at Bago to visit some highlights again including : Kyaik Pun Paya, built in 1476 by King Dhammazedi, it consists of four 30m-high sitting Buddhas placed back-to-back around a huge, square pillar and Mahazedi Paya, originally constructed in 1560 AD by King Bayinnaung, it was destroyed during the 1757 sacking of Bago and the reconstruction was only completed in 1982. Stairways lead up the outside of the stupa, and from the top there are fine views over the surrounding area.
