MYANMAR

Ethereal Explorations

Embark on sky-high adventures by hot air ballooning over the stunning landscapes of Myanmar. We would like to introduce two options for breathtaking views of two of Myanmar’s most iconic destinations: Bagan and Inle Lake. With several reputable balloon companies operating in the country, you can choose from a variety of flight options to suit your preferences.

Bagan: A Journey Through Time

Bagan, an ancient city located in central Myanmar, is a sprawling archaeological marvel with over 2,000 temples and pagodas dotting its plains. Established in the 9th century, Bagan was the capital of the Pagan Kingdom, which unified the regions that would later become modern Myanmar. As you float gently above the landscape, the rising sun casts a golden glow over the temples, creating an ethereal view that captures the essence of Myanmar’s rich history and culture. Ballooning over Bagan allows you to appreciate the grandeur and scale of this ancient city from a perspective that is both tranquil and awe-inspiring.

Inle Lake: Serenity from Above

Inle Lake, nestled in the Shan Hills, is another must-see destination for ballooning enthusiasts. This freshwater lake is renowned for its serene beauty, floating gardens and stilt-house villages. The local Intha people are known for their unique leg-rowing technique used to navigate their boats. As your balloon ascends over Inle Lake, you’ll witness the tranquil waters reflecting the surrounding mountains and the vibrant life on the lake. The early morning mist rising from the water adds a mystical quality to the landscape, making your flight a truly enchanting experience.

Myanmar boasts several balloon companies that offer safe and memorable flights over these spectacular regions. Companies like Balloons Over Bagan or Oriental Ballooning are well-regarded for their experienced pilots and commitment to safety. Each company provides a unique experience, with options ranging from intimate flights in smaller balloons to larger group experiences. No matter which company you choose, you’ll be treated to professional service and breathtaking views.
