The main attraction of this pagoda is a golden rock formation, similar to Kyaiktiyo, but on a smaller scale. However, due its shape and balance (3 stones on top of each other) this golden rock is equally impressive. If you go in low season and on a work day, there is a fair chance that you will be the only person there.
To go there you can get pick-ups from the roundabout south of the bridge. Locals pay about 500 kyat one-way, but tourist may be charged 1,000 kyat. Taxis offer you the same trip for 8,000 kyat return, but you can get them down to 5,000 kyat.
Near Kyaun Ka Village exactly 19.7 km north from the roundabout take the {{marker|type=other|name=concrete track|lat=16.607135|long=97.511183}} to the right up and by the temple. The distance to the pagoda is 6.7 km not accounting for the height. You can either hike up and down – at least 1.5-2.5 hr each way; bring enough water, good shoes and sun blocker as the heat and humidity are killers – or you can try to get a work truck (2,000 kyat per person return). In low season, the work truck can be more expensive if they even run! Going back from the main road is easy, just hail for a pick-up or any car that passes by.
