Each stop will be full of sightseeing and photography opportunities.
After a good rest, walk in downtown Yangon to visit Chauk Htat Gyi Pagoda that is known for the 70m-long reclining Buddha image, as one of the most revered sites in Myanmar. Go for a stroll around the spectacular Kandawgyi Lake from which you can view the magnificent Shwedagon Pagoda and Karaweik Palace with the iconic barge design.

After breakfast in the hotel, be ready for the 5-hour drive to the unparalleled Golden Rock – the remarkable tourist attraction and Buddhist pilgrimage venue in Mon State.

Later, you’ll arrive at the base camp from which the local open-air truck will take you to the junction camp, and then the fantastic Rock.
