| The somewhat rigorous trip to this unique pilgrimage site is always rewarded with a fabulous sight of a huge boulder weighing 600 tons, precariously balanced at the edge of a crag of Paung Laung Mountain Chain, approximately 200 km Southeast of Yangon. On top of the boulder is a delicate pagoda, enshrined with a single strand of hair relic of Buddha, which is said to be the prime force maintaining the balance of this huge boulder. According to a geological survey of April 1980 the boulder has been in place for 2400 years and survived a series of earthquakes. Be warned that tourism infrastructure in this region is very basic and simple. This trip should be regarded as a soft adventure. |  |
