Day 11 of 17 day peregrine trip Burma with local guide Ko Ko Aye
7.30 am departure Khaung Daing, Inle Lake for He Ho Airport fir flight via Air Began to Yangon.
At Yangon airport our tour group splits, those doing the shorter trip head for Yangon City. We all say our farewells.
Ko Ko Aye and I head for Golden Rock Kyaktiyo by car. It's a 4 hour trip by car or bus to base camp travelling through some amazing scenery on a good quality road ( highway).
At Basecamp we transfer to an open air truck for a 45 min ride to golden rock. Minimum of 6 people per row squashed in like sardines into each row. I really enjoyed the ride up to golden rock. I was surprised how good the road up the mountainside was and how good the drivers were. If you are scared of heights it's not the place for you.
Golden Rock is amazing. Once you visit it you will understand. It's not a fake. It's magnificent and could easily qualify for one of the wonders of the world. You can feel the tranquility and spirituality once you hit this place whether you are a foreigner or a local pilgrim. To get the best out of this visit you should go with a local guide.
