    Gorgeous

    To get here, you can either walk for 5 hoursup the mountain or take the bus 2000 mmk. To enter you have to pay 10000 as a tourist which isn’t much so its worth it. You must be lucky to have a clear view but...More

    It’s ok, but not a ‘must’

    We visited the golden rock on a car transfer from Bago to Mawlamyine. Once you get to Kapun base town everyone is shunted onto trucks for the 40min up to the summit. 2,000 kyat each direction. The truck is very bumpy and uncomfortable, arguably hazardous....More

    The Golden Rock

    An amazing open air temple with the giant golden rock teetering on the cliff that defies gravity. It is believed that Buddha’s hair is under trhe rock and that is what caused it from plummeting down the mountainside. Religious pilgramage and many locals and buddhist...More

    Scam! Not worth if just for the view

    Warning if you are travelling from Yangon. The bus company will tell you that all ticket buses are included. False. It doesn't include the last bus (you take 3 different buses) going up (takes 20min) which cost 2,000 KYAT one way. Almost got scammed on...More
