Myanmar Trip - Day 6

Day 6, we traveled to Kyaityo, the Golden Rock where we spend a night at Mountain Top Hotel located at the top of the mountain.

The journey up the mountain itself was interesting. We covered much of the journey on lorries that have been "converted" to transport passengers and then walk the rest of the journey up Golden Rock.

The slope is steep but still manageable, however some volunteers decided to take a more comfortable way up and let others do the walking for them.

Opting for an easier way up the mountain, some volunteers took "human-powered" transport.

The hotel is simple but comfortable, any shortcoming is more than made up for by the fantastic view it offers. We spent much of the late afternoon and evening at the Golden Rock Pagoda pasting gold leaves on the Golden Rock and taking in the beautiful scenic views.
