Kyaik-tiyo Pagoda is well known as Golden
Rock. A huge boulder on which a gilded stupa was built, is
incredibly balancing on a high cliff in a deep forest.
Previously, for many years, the only mode of travel was only
climbing on foot along the steep slopes and mountain ridges
among thick bamboo jungle until the summit where holy Golden
Rock, which is, situated 4000ft above sea level. It is actually
very much more enjoyable journey to climb up with friends on
foot although cars and buses are now easily reached to the
cliff. People believe that climbing to Golden rock is
soul-cleansing experience. Elderly and disabled people, also for
their baggage, can hire the palanquins, carried by local men.
