Kyaikhtiyo
(Golden Rock) in Kyaikhto
KYAIKHTO is a small town and popular for its
wish fulfill Golden Rock Pagoda. About 160
km from Yangon. This mystical Pagoda is
about 18ft tall and is built on a huge
boulder about 50ft in girth. This boulder is
balancing precariously on the edge of 18ft
high rock and separated from the mountain
edge by a deep chasm over 1100M above sea
level. It is indeed an overwhelming sight,
how the boulder keeps its balance is beyond
comprehension, but it was been there for
2500 years.
There
is a steep road winding up from Kinpun base
camp to Golden Rock about 13 miles by
truck.
There are only few Hotels with modern
facilities for the visitors.
