    After breakfast, set out on a scenic 5-hour journey to the Golden Rock (Kyaiktiyo). Along the way, pass through picturesque rubber and teak plantations that offer breathtaking views of the countryside. Upon arriving at the foothills of the mountain, hop on a local truck to ascend to the top. At the summit, be awed by the sight of the Golden Rock, a massive boulder covered in gold leaf that appears to defy gravity as it teeters on the edge of a cliff. According to local folklore, it contains a precious relic of Lord Buddha. As the day winds down, take in the stunning sunset over the misty mountains from the pagoda platform, surrounded by hundreds of devotees who come to offer flowers, oil lamps, bells, and water to the sacred site. Finally, make your way to your hotel in Kyaiktiyo for an overnight stay.
