« MYANMAR TRAVEL DISCOVERY SWINGS

Golden Rock & Roll

4 Days/ Golden Rock – Golden Bago – Golden Yangon
Let’s Get Started!
You may as well know now – “Shwe” means “golden” in Burmese. You will see it often, both in Burmese and English. The Golden Duck Hot Pot. Shwe Hair Salon. The Golden Gutter Travel Service. Shwe Plumbing & Sewage. You think we make this stuff up? What kind of Myanmar travel agency do you think we are?

Back to serious travel hyping. As Myanmar travel tours go, the Golden Rock journey is one of the road trip classics. In fact, we can have an air conditioned vehicle pick you up at the airport and drive you straight there. It’s about 5 hours but only feels like 4 ½. Trust us, it’s a lot easier than the trudge up to the rock, which is only an hour but feels like a week in purgatory. “What kind sales hype is this?” you ask?” We have no idea.

And we best not tell you that the Burmese get a free ride to the top in a big ole truck! They say it’s for “insurance reasons” we foreigners can’t ride along, but I’m not buying it. What I do ‘buy’ is a ride in a bamboo palanquin! Sure, you feel a little imperialist, but you are helping support a poor village family, are you not? I’d love to make the climb, really, but my concern for my fellow man is just too great to be that selfish.
