Kyaiktiyo

The atmosphere around the incredible balancing boulder stupa on the edge of a cliff at Mt Kyaikto is charged with magic and devotion. Atop the Golden Rock (a massive, gold-leafed bolder) sits a small stupa, just 7m high, called Kyaiktiyo. Legend says that the boulder maintains its precarious balance due to a precisely placed Buddha hair in the stupa.
