Locals will go there more than a few times as pilgrimage. The old hiking up the mountain used to be very challenging but nowadays they offer open pick up trucks to reach the top. The ride in the pick up is like Disney land ride jolting and swaying in the back sitting on the bars. They dropped us a bit... More

It was not easy to get here but it was the most interesting of all things we saw in Yangon.The big rock is like a holy thing for the Burmese people.Thousands of people come here to pray and make a wish from this stone rock.

Round trip is about 18$ and takes 4-5 hours each way from Yangon so take the 0730 bus and not the 0900 one otherwise you want get to enjoy the place. Once you get there its... More

It is like a miracle place where the huge golden rock stands on the brink of the cliff and might fall from its place someday. You can see a lot of faithfull Myanmeses sitting around are making a wish and pray to the Buddha. You should arrive there before the sunset bacause I think when the sun is going down... More

Traveling to see the "Golden Rock" was worth the time and effort. I say effort because walking up the mountain is part of the experience. I highly recommend walking as much as possible. You will meet and have chances to interact with locals and continue to find how amazing these people are.

This is my 3rd visit to the Golden Rock in 10 years. It remains a magical place for both travellers & pilgrims alike. Even though Myanmar is in a state of political transition and, we’re told, many more tourists are visiting, I found it to be exactly as before, seeing just a handful of foreigners. Only a room for the... More

Well if you traveling with elderly and very young babies I would say this is not the correct place to visit because all must take a truck with full load of max 45 adults ( open Tuck ) very scary drive up hill and down hill it's not safe at all ! We were there in April it was very... More
