Balloons Over Bagan

 
 

Imagine...

 
  Floating over thousand year-old pagodas and the mighty Ayeyarwaddy River, as the sun rises over the valley of temples as Rudyard Kipling inspired a hundred years ago in his "Mandalay" poem: "An’ the dawn comes up like thunder," the magic of Bagan has inspired visitors to Myanmar for centuries. Bagan is one of the most remarkable sights in Asia with ancient temples that 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.  
     
 

The Service

 
  We offer our clients a unique opportunity to see the ancient city of Bagan from a different perspective during their visit to Bagan. With Balloons over Bagan you get a magnificent birds-eye view of thousand year-old pagodas, temples and the mighty Ayeyarwaddy River. The champagne flights at sunrise last just under one hour and take off daily from October through March. The balloon is guided by gentle winds not exceeding 15 mph.

Commercial passenger ballooning has the best safety record of all forms of air transport. Balloons over Bagan's pilots and technicians are qualified and registered in the UK. All balloons, which are built to the highest standards of the British aerospace industry, are provided by Cameron Balloons Limited, the world's largest manufacturer of high quality balloons.

Each balloon is insured for three million dollars, third party and passenger liability. Balloons over Bagan is a private Myanmar Company that is committed to the preservation of Bagan and its environment. A small contribution from each flight will be donated to community programs that directly benefit the local population.

Due to the limited capacity, advance bookings at an early stage are highly recommended. Balloons over Bagan operate with a maximum of six balloons at any one time. Eight, twelve or sixteen passengers plus a pilot can fit into the balloon’s basket. The total capacity is 72 passengers per flight daily from October through to the end of March.
