Fly with us and experience the magic of floating over Bagan, with a personal touch. Obviously a very skilled flyer but also awesome at explaining and showing us around the most gorgeous temples of Bagan, seen from the sky ! 45 to 60 minutes. Bagan is now a UNESCO world heritage site.
You want to be the person in the balloon! Jason our pilot was also super knowledgeable about the area and gave detailed explanations about the main sites we overflew. By Jess; January 29, 2017; I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures. The balloon was deflated and packed up by the crew.At around 8.15am we were driven back to our hotels and arrived at around 9am, with plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the day in Bagan.Bagan hot air balloon season 2020/2021 runs from the Daybreak also tends to bring with it more dramatic layers of haze, dreamily blanketing the landscape for perfect photo opportunities.The Bagan balloon ride includes hotel transfers, hot drinks, snacks and fruit before take off, insurance, a branded cap and a commemorative flight certificate.Premium options also exist which include less passengers in the basket, full breakfast after the Myanmar balloon ride and inflight photos.In London I had researched the three companies offering hot air balloon rides in Bagan, I hadn’t noticed until I reached Yangon but each company had balloons in three different colours (yellow, green, and red) representing the Myanmar flag!Here is some info on each of the Bagan hot air balloon companies:They have been organising hot air balloon rides in Myanmar since 1999, and As my trip to Myanmar was so last minute there was only one company with Bagan hot air balloon availability, After a day of oohing and aahing, I decided to bite the bullet and book the balloon flight over Bagan.The experience was seamless from start to finish, Golden Eagle Ballooning made the day special beyond belief and I have no hesitations in recommending them to anyone who is considering a hot air balloon in Bagan. You captured some really amazing photos too! With two different companies, Oriental Ballooning and Balloons Over Bagan, offering 8 to 16 passenger flights, splurge for one of the 8 passenger flights that cost around US $380. I’d feel confident with booking a hot air balloon tour now after reading this.That’s good to hear, it is hard to find all the info in one placeWow I’d love to do something like this. Plus the company is owned by a local.
Thanks to all for this fabulous experience. This was my first balloon flight and it was so amazing I am sure nothing can really top this! Love this guide, it’s so detailed! We had panoramic views of the We passed local villages and waved to those on their morning commute, whilst getting a view we would never otherwise be able to experience.As we floated over the trees and temples our pilot taught us about the history of Bagan and explained some of the background of ballooning to us too.I learnt that the pilots don’t know exactly where the balloon will end up as this largely depends on the wind, but every morning calculations are made and the balloon crew drive out to the area they think we will land and then follow the balloons in the car if this changes.This means every day the flight route is different resulting in a unique experience for everyone.At around 7.30am we prepared to land by holding onto the ropes and for safety reasons, getting into a seated position in the basket. You were promised a cheap holiday in South East Asia! We always felt safe and can definitely recommend this company and especially JP!
