Day 1

Depart To Golden Rock In Kyaiktiyo Pagoda From Yangon

Our guide and driver will pick you up at 6 am from your Yangon hotel. We'll drive for about 3.5 hours to Kyaiktiyo Pagoda, famously known as The Golden Rock in Kyaikhto Township. Upon reaching the mountain's base, you'll transfer to open trucks for a 45-minute journey uphill. The Golden Rock, perched on a 1,100-meter-high mountain, is a place of pilgrimage where people worship and add gold leaf to the rock.

Enjoy 360-degree panoramic views of the Mon State Mountains while dressing modestly. Only males can add gold leaves via a small bridge. You can also trek for an hour to Crow Mouth and Kyee Kan Mouth, where tossing a coin grants a wish.

Local shops offer religious items, and there are eateries and gift shops.

In the afternoon, we'll return to the mountain's base, passing through several townships. We'll stop at a local restaurant for tea or coffee before heading back to Yangon, where our driver will safely take you to your hotel after this incredible trip to Kyaiktiyo Pagoda.

We recently enjoyed a fantastic three-week trip with a family of eleven, expertly organized by Mrs. Van Le. Our journey began with a seven-day tour in Hanoi, followed by six days in central Vietnam, and concluded with the remainder of our time in Saigon. Everything went smoothly thanks to her professionalism, warmth, and kindness. The guides were excellent, and the bus drivers were also commendable. We highly recommend this experience with pleasure. 🙏

We have just returned from an exceptional 10-day, 9-night journey through Northern Vietnam and Cambodia, meticulously arranged by Autour Asia Travel for our group of six. The experience was outstanding in every regard! From the moment we shared our preferences - such as the duration of our trip, budget, accommodation ratings, and desired activities - they took care of every detail with remarkable efficiency. The personalized itinerary they crafted was flawless, reflecting their superb attention to detail and commitment to ensuring our satisfaction. A special mention goes to Van Le (Eliese), whose exceptional service and dedication significantly enhanced our travel experience. Her expertise and responsiveness made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Autour Asia Travel for any travel plans in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. Their professionalism and exceptional service truly set them apart.

Our 23-day private tour with AutourAsia was fantastic! It was our third time booking with them, and they once again provided outstanding service. Ms. Van Le, our contact, was incredibly helpful and patient, even as we made several changes to our itinerary. She was available at all times and even assisted with our return flight issues.

We explored Vietnam and Laos extensively, and as picky travelers, we were thoroughly impressed. The company owner greeted us personally, adding a special touch to our trip, and our guides, Mr. Ping and Mr. Sang, were excellent.

If you're considering a trip to Indochina, I highly recommend AutourAsia. Great service and very reasonable prices!

Our recent tour to Vietnam and Cambodia was truly exceptional, featuring a mix of visits to both well-known attractions and hidden gems off the beaten path. The entire experience was made memorable by the warm hospitality, attentiveness, and high quality of services provided throughout our stay.

One highlight of our trip was the cooking class in Hoi An Ecotour, where we had the opportunity to learn how to prepare traditional Vietnamese dishes like Nem spring rolls and flower salad. The hands-on experience was both fun and educational, and it gave us a deeper appreciation for the local cuisine.

We wholeheartedly recommend this trip to anyone seeking an enriching travel experience. A big thank you to Mr. Duy, Ms. Van Le, and the entire AutourAsia team for their exceptional service and for making our stay so enjoyable.
