You may also admire its dozens of colourful and intricately decorated temples, statues, and stupas. End your day at Karaweik Palace, the only place in Yangon where you can discover authentic traditional performances alongside great food in the comfort of a majestic setting. Enjoy an entertaining cultural show while you feast on a scrumptious international buffet dinner.

D2 YANGON – BAGO – MT KYAIKTIYO
After breakfast, transfer to Mt Kyaiktiyo via Bago. Along the way, make a stop at Taukkyan War Cemetery, where the beautifully tended tombstones of Allied soldiers who lost their lives during the Second World War are located. Make another stop at Kha Khat Wain Monastery, the largest monastery in Bago, where you can catch a glimpse of the daily lives of monks. After lunch, head to Kin Pun, where you will take a 40-minute journey on a hill truck up Mt Kyaiktiyo, where the famous Kyaiktiyo Pagoda, otherwise known as Golden Rock, awaits you. The giant, precariously balanced gold boulder topped with a stupa is said to be perched on a strand of the Buddha’s hair. Do not forget to admire the paronamic views of the surrounding mountains of Mon State.
