Myanmar's MOST DANGEROUS Pagoda?! | How To Get to GOLDEN ROCK (Is It Worth It?) ????????
The Kyaiktiyo Pagoda aka the Golden Rock is Myanmar’s most surreal landmark. A giant bolder resting on a steep cliff edge - seemingly defying the laws of gravity! We visited during Thadingyut Festival (the Myanmar Festival of Lights) where thousands of candles are lit underneath the pagoda - a truly UNMISSABLE experience!
Although it’s an important buddhist pilgrimage, the pagoda isn’t often visited by foreign tourists. So how do you get to Golden Rock from Yangon? And is it really worth it? In this travel guide, we give a foreigner's first impressions of Kyaiktiyo and the Thadingyut festival itself.

EVERYTHING FEATURED IN THIS FILM:
0:00 - What is the Golden Rock Pagoda?
Some background on one of the most mystical sights in Myanmar and the legend that surrounds it.
0:55 - How to get to Kin Pun: Base camp for the Golden Rock
We took a bus from Yangon bus station to Kin Pun: a bustling market town at the base of the mountain.
1:50 - Getting up the mountain
From Kin Pun you need to take a special truck up to the rock. Not for the feint of heart!
3:18 - Golden Rock Myanmar Hotel. Where to stay at Kyaiktiyo Pagoda?
We stayed on the mountaintop at an expensive, but pretty nice hotel called Kayak Hto. We booked though booking.com and it cost us £65 for one night. This was a slightly higher price due to the festival, but worth it for the short walk to the pagoda!
4:07 - You can also camp at the Golden Rock!
And it’s free! As far as I can tell, you just have to pay an entrance fee.
4:25 - First impressions of the Golden Rock
Walking up to the temple and paying for entry. My thoughts on seeing the rock for the first time.
7:05 - Sunset at the Golden Rock
The best time to see the pagoda. This is also when the festival started.
7:25 - Thadingyut Festival at the Golden Rock
The lights under the rock at night - incredible!
8:30 - Sunrise at the Golden Rock
We woke up at 5am for this…
9:15 - The journey down the mountain
Worse than the way up! I also give my final thoughts on our whole experience.

The miracle of Myanmar, Kyaik Htee Yoe Pagoda, Mon State in 4K ကျိုက်ထီးရိုးဘုရား မွန်ပြည်နယ်
Mount Kyaiktiyo (Kyite Htee Yoe), famous for the huge golden rock perched at its summit, is one of the three most sacred religious sites in Myanmar, Pilgrims come here from far and wide to worship and add gold leaf to the rock, which seems to defy gravity by delicately balancing on the edge of the 1100-metre high mountain.
The pagoda is located near Kyaikto in Mon State in the northern part of the Tenasserim coast. The Golden Rock is situated at an elevation of 1,100 metres (3,600 ft) above sea level, on top of the Kyaik Htiee Yoe hill that is also known as Eastern Yoma mountain and it is on the Paung-laung ridge of the Eastern Yoma mountain. It is at a distance of 210 kilometres (130 mi) from Yangon.
The Kinpun village 16 km (10 mi) is at the base of Mt. Kyaik Htee Yoe, which has a lively atmosphere and a good range of places to eat. If you are staying in Kinpun, it makes the most sense to arrive in the late afternoon or evening, and then ascend the mountain the following morning.
Special trucks driven by well-trained drivers can now drive you up to Mt. Yathae, from which visitors trek uphill for about 45 minutes. Porters and palanquins are available to carry luggage and pilgrims who are too old or too weak.
For many visitors, the rock (standing 7.6 metres tall) and the gilded pagoda which sits on top of it (itself 7.3 metres tall), which are said to cover a hair of the Buddha, are the main draw, but another reason to make the journey is the panoramic 360 degree views of the surrounding Mon State mountains from the summit.
You may also take Myanmar's first cable car from Yathaetaung to the summit (K6,000 for a round trip ticket). The operating hours of the bus and cable car are 5am to 6pm.
Women are not allowed into the inner sanctuary of the rocks vicinity, maintained by an employed security guard who watches over the gated entrance. Women are permitted in the outer balcony and the lower courtyard of the rock.
The Golden Rock is the main attraction for the pilgrims who offer prayers and also stick golden leaves on the rock in reverence. The main square close to the golden rock has many establishments that deal in religious paraphernalia for worship and offerings made by the pilgrims. Adjoining the plaza area is the Potemkin village where restaurants, gift shops, and guest houses are located. A new terrace has been built at a lower level from which visitors can get a good view of the rock and the pagoda.
At the peak of the pilgrimage season, from November to March, an atmosphere of devotion is witnessed at Kyaik Htiee Yoe pagoda.
The Full Moon day of Tabaung in March is a special occasion for pilgrims who visit the shrine. On this day, the platform of the pagoda is lighted with ninety thousand candles as a reverential offering to the Lord Buddha. The devotees who visit the pagoda also offer fruits, food and incense to the Buddha.

#KyaiktiyoPagoda #GoldenRock #Myanmar
The streaming KyaiKtiyo Pagoda, Golden Rock. This place is a symbol of Myanmar. You can go to there by one day trip from Yangon and Mawlamyine. But you have to leave early in the morning. At least 8 am, it is better to leave from Yangon long distance bus terminal, so you would leave your hotel and hostel from 6 am. Because the last bus of coming back to Yangon is at 3 pm, so you might miss the bus, if you miss the bus, you have to go to Kyaikto by a motor bike taxi or car taxi. Please read the homepage

Amazing Golden Rock Kyaik Htee Yoe Pagoda in Mon State, Myanmar in 4K
I visited this famous Golden Rock Kyaik Htee Yoe Pagoda on full Moon Day of Tazamoune, 2 years ago. I uploaded a full version of the visit on 4th January 2019.
Because of COVID pandemic, the pagoda is shut. As today November 29th is the full moon day of Tazaungmone, I create a shorter version of the Golden Rock Myaik Htee Yoe pagoda so that people can pray and worship at home.
Mount Kyaiktiyo (Kyite Htee Yoe), famous for the huge golden rock perched at its summit, is one of the three most sacred religious sites in Myanmar, Pilgrims come here from far and wide to worship and add gold leaf to the rock, which seems to defy gravity by delicately balancing on the edge of the 1100-metre high mountain.

MYANMAR VIDEO - Kyaiktiyo Pagoda, Inle Lake, Bagan, U Bein Bridge (Mandalay)
Despite the mixed feeling I had for Myanmar trip, looking back, I am simply grateful. Truly it might have not been the smoothest journey, but that is how traveling is all about.
It shows reality; traveling isn’t always about rainbows and unicorns.
Throughout this short 2 weeks of journey, I also realized one thing what Myanmar showed me, that is how to build bridges of understanding between different cultures; Muslim’s and Buddhism. Knowing the fact that there are many, if not a lot, negative news about Rohingya, I am blessed to be able to see Myanmar myself and experience it as a muslim, in this climate of fear.
I am glad that I can say this trip has proven another one thing about traveling, that is:
We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. -Pico Iyer
Insha Allah, I am sure I will be back again to reexplore and relearn the country, to see them with my own eyes. It is not just the where and the what; it's the how and the why.
Enjoy and thanks so much for watching! xo-Syifa
