Kyaikhtiyo

Kjite Hti3 Yo3 | ကျိုက်ထီးရိုး

In Mon language, ကျိုက် | kjite means stupa or Pagoda, and Kyaikhtiyo is the most well-known.

Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda, situated at 1,100 meter (3,600 ft) above the sea level, is one of major tourist attractions and a pilgrimage site for Myanmar people.

The pagoda is built on a boulder hanging precariously at the edge of the vertical ridge.

The mysterious boulder is about 25 feet high and 50 feet in circumference.

The base camp 210 kilometer (130 miles) away from Yangon is now accessible by air-conditioned weekend train as an alternative to a five hour drive from Yangon.

There is a 11 kilometer (6.8 mile) hiking trek from the base camp as well as a paved road to the bus terminal closer to the hotels and the Pagoda at top of the mountain.
