Kyaikto, a town in Mon State in southeastern Myanmar, is the nearest base for visiting the Kyaiktiyo Pagoda — the Golden Rock — a gilded boulder balanced over a cliff edge that ranks among Myanmar's most visited pilgrimage sites. The town sits on the Yangon–Mawlamyine road and rail corridor, making it a practical stop for travellers heading to the pagoda in the mountains above.
