 Floating
over thousand year old pagodas and the
mighty Ayeyarwaddy River, as the sun sinks
slowly behind distant mountains.
The magic of Bagan has
inspired visitors to Myanmar for centuries.
One of the most remarkable sights in Asia,
ancient temples dot the landscape as far as
the eye can see. Now "Balloons over Bagan"
affords visitors a unique opportunity to see
this ancient kingdom, as it never has been
seen before.
Our sunrise and sunset
champagne flights take off daily from
October through to the end of March.
 How long is the
flight?
That flights normally
last 45 minutes to one hour, or longer
depending on the wind. The whole experience
including hotel pick ups and light champagne
breakfast lasts between 2 ˝ to 3 hours.
Ballooning is also about watching the set up
of the balloon, and being rescued at the end
too, not just the flight itself. Not knowing
where you are going to land is always
exciting and part of the adventure!
What do we see?
 Bagan as you’ve never
seen it before! Like a bird would see and
wherever the wind takes you! The exciting
thing about ballooning is that you just
don’t know. You may see Bagan waking up in
the morning. You will see many temples in
the distance and get an aerial view of Bagan.
Sometimes you may fly over villages and see
people getting up in the morning and feeding
their animals; or fly over fields and see
people going to market. It is an amazing
experience.
How many people can
fit in one balloon?
The balloon has room for
8 passengers in four separate compartments
plus a pilot. Our largest balloon can
accommodate 12 passengers also in four
compartments.
