The magic of Bagan has inspired visitors 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 has never been seen before.

Balloons over Bagan's champagne flights take place either early in the morning, at sunrise, or an hour or so before sunset. Light winds and stable weather conditions are needed, the speed of the balloon and the length of the flight are governed by the strength and velocity of the wind.
