 Kyaikhtiyo
Pagoda, known to the west as "Golden Rock,"
perches on the edge of a cliff at the top of
Kyaikhto mountains, part of the Eastern Yoma.
Insignificant in size but unique for it's
position, "Golden Rock" is the most meditative
and popular tourist attraction in Mon State. A
small Stupa rests on top of a big boulder
covered in gold leaf, which balances on the
cliff, thanks to a Sacred Hair of the Buddha
enshrined or preserved inside the Stupa.
Kyaikhtiyo is 160 km from Yangon and is an
important place of pilgrimage for all Buddhists.
There is a well-beaten path up to the top of the
mountain from the base-camp. Devotees usually
climb uphill about 13 km on foot from the
base-camp. However, a motor road has been built
recently up to the next camp about 45-minute
drive, from where it takes another 45-minute to
walk up. All the tiredness along the way
disappears once one reaches the top since a
spectacular view wait there, especially at
sunrise or sunset.
