Detail Itinerary

Day – 01:Yangon arrival and sightseeing (by car)
Arrive at Yangon International Airport to be welcomed upon arrival by your gracious tour guide. Transfer and check into your hotel. In the afternoon, take a tour of Yangon including a photo stop at Karaweik Hall (named after a sacred mythological bird) which is a royal barge floating in Kandawgyi ("Royal") Lake and then stop at the Chaukhtatgyi Pagoda (Reclining Buddha) a colossal reclining Buddha (which is only surpassed in size by the one in Bago). Later that afternoon, visit to the city center and see the gilded 2,500 year-old Sule Pagoda (a magnificent octagonal golden pagoda which is said to enshrine a hair of Buddha). Then, you will visit the beautiful colonial-style buildings surrounding Mahabandula Park, take a tour of the Naga (hand blown) Glass Factory and stroll through the quaint and narrow streets of Chinatown including the short visit to Tao Temple. Spend the night at your hotel in Yangon.

Day – 02:Yangon – Bago - Kyaikhtiyo (Golden Rock)
After breakfast at your hotel, you will be driven to the delta and over the Sittang River to Kyaikhtiyo (Golden Rock). Upon your arrival in Bago, some of the sights that will you see are: the Kyakhatwine Monastery where there is a procession of a thousand monks (who take their meal every day at 10 AM in total silence), the Kanbawza Thardi Palace (built by Bayinnaung), the Shwemawdaw Pagoda, the Shwethalyaung Pagoda (the world's most beautiful reclining Buddha) and the Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda (also known as Golden Rock Pagoda) which is one of the most famous pagodas in this region and is the crown jewel of the Mon State. It is located high in the forested mountains above the Mon capital, Mawlamyaing. The Golden Rock Pagoda stands on a gold-gilded boulder precariously perched at the edge of the cliff 1,100 km. above sea level. The boulder, which appears to be constantly in danger of plunging down the mountainside, seems a miracle in itself. The Golden Rock Pagoda is a small stupa measuring only 5.5 meters high, enthroned with Buddha's hair. The gold covered boulder is in the rough shape of a man's head, representing the head of a hermit. You will visit the Golden Rock in the soft light of late afternoon, which is the best time for taking pictures there. Spend the night at your hotel in Kyaikhtiyo.
