Pilgrimage to the rock
This is a top pick! The weather in Rangoon was surprisingly cool as I departed the White House for the Aung Mingalar bus station, close to an hour away. However what was even more surprising than the temperature was the thick fog that had blanketed the city. In more than ...

Home of the Golden Rock

Golden Rock, religious Crack!
Inle to Golden Rock via Bago. Getting out of Inle turned out to be trickier than I'd envisioned. In theory it should've been simple. After spending a pleasant morning Bicycling around the Lake, even stopping at a winery for a little Wine tasting ...
The things we’ll do for a big hairy rock
And no, this is not one of my infamous typos. Though to be more accurate, it’s a hair on a rock rather than a rock that is hairy that we were searching for. It is oft said that a pilgrimage is not a pilgrimage without a bit of en route suffering ...
Steep climb to Golden Rock Pagoda
Leaving early, we flew back to Yangon where we said goodbye to those taking an abridged trip before heading off to Golden Rock pagoda, a 25m boulder precariously perched on top of a mountain. Local Buddhists have taken significance in the rock covering ...
Expérience Birmane
Retour à Yangon, forcé tous et chacun de jeter des œillades admiratives sur la lande déroulante à nos yeux. Arrêt interrogatif aux kiosques de poisson séchés, dont la forme lointaine a fait croire à certain d'être des bretzels ! Un diner ...

Golden Rock
Early start this morning I wanted to catch the first truck up to Kyaikhtiyo (the Golden Rock). The first truck was a 6am so it was still dark when I started off. After a 45min truck ride there was a 45min walk, so the plan was to do it before the ...
Never assume you're alone!
16 May 2010 Well, you'd think after spending two days in Kinpun; base camp for the famous Golden Rock pagoda, that I would've actually went to the thing up close. You'd be wrong! I spent the first day captured in my new book and read it so fast, ...
