Sticking the gold leave to the rock, Myanmar. Only men are allowed so close to 'Golden Rock', It is a lovely place to spend the day, which starts down at Kinpun base camp. First part you spend in the back of an overcrowded truck early morning. Offloaded with a bunch of pilgrims, follow the steep foot trail which winds true small shops and food stall. It is a stiff 1 hour walk (about 1.5 km). You can stay until sunset if you like. You can engage yourself to a 11 km hike to Golden rock from Kinpun. Kinpun is a great place to stay the night before you head out, not many tourists do.
A glimpse of the "gravity defying" Golden Rock is believed to be enough of an inspiration for any person to turn to Buddhism.
