Today, we excursion to Kyaikhtiyo (185 km, 4 hours drive). Kyaiktiyo Pagoda is a well-known Buddhist pilgrimage site in Mon State, Burma. It is a small pagoda built on the top of a granite boulder covered with gold leaves pasted on by devotees.
En route visit at Bago, Kyaikkhawine Monastery where a thousand monks living in this monastery (We can arrange to donate for lunch to the monks and the Buddhist monks requisites). Buddhist monks, however, eat only two meals a day. The sixth of the ten basic precepts that order monastic life is to abstain from taking “untimely” meals – with “timely” defined as between dawn and noon. So, the last meal of the day, at 11:00 am, is an important one.
The Kanbawzathardi palace of King Bayinnaung is some of the places of interests and then proceed to Kyaikhtiyo. Kyaikhtiyo is a major pilgrimage site for Buddhists.
From the base camp (Kinpun Sakan) take a public open truck ride up to the Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda (45 minutes). This is where you will find the famous “; Golden Rock”;, a huge boulder precariously perched on the edge of a cliff face seemingly defying gravity.
