Golden Rock Discovery

Early Morning departure by private car for Bago, the former capital of the mighty 15th century Mon Kingdom of Pegu, situated some 80 kilometres northeast of Yangon. It is because morning light is the best to make the iconic photos of your journey . and also we have the plan to do some staged shots in Bago before the light is getting strong .
So driving straight to Bago is compulsory , upon arrival to Bago , we are doing a staged shots at Huge Reclining Buddha Statue ( this is less visited place in Bago ) . where we will spend minimum one hour to get the great shots . then we are to take a short break at the local tea shop for quick breakfast and toilet stop . then continue our expedition to Golden Rock and we will make some stops on the way where we can have opportunist shots .
What is Golden Rock ?
Golden Rock (otherwise known as Kyaiktiyo Pagoda) is not only visually stunning, but one of the most important religious sites in Burma. Teetering on the very edge of a cliff as though poised to tumble into the valley below, it almost defies belief. There are several legends surrounding its existence, all of which hinge on the belief that the boulder is balancing on a strand of the Buddha’s hair.
Upon arrival to basecamp of Golden Rock , we are to take the open truck ( Public shared truck –taking minimum 45 minutes up to Golden Rock )to get to uphill truck station of Golden Rock . then we will take seven minutes walk to check in hotel and then take a short break before our visit to Golden Rock in the late afternoon .
In the late afternoon ( minimum one and half hour before sunset ), we are to leave for Golden Rock ( it may take only 10 minutes walk form your hotel ) and we will do a free shooting around the pagoda platform of Golden Rock and photograph the silhouette shots of Golden Rock during the pre and post sunset .
