Balloons Over Bagan

Season (each year): 1st October to 15th April

The ballooning season is short in Bagan, typically running from October through mid-April. Only Balloons Over Bagan and Easter Safari operate mid April. Why the season is so short and there are no balloon rides during the monsoon season in Myanmar/Burma? The winds are calmer and the air is cooler. Why almost all the balloon rides takes place during the morning hours? The air currents are less active during those hours and the chances of your balloon ride to be canceled are close to ZERO. Last year from example for the whole ride season, only 3 days had been canceled! Money back guarantee in case of bad weather, will be refunded 100%. The vast majority of the flights are at sunrise, meaning that you’re going to have to be up bright and early for your pickup, often before 6am. You’ll be back at your hotel around 8am.

Price Range

The price for the Balloons over Bagan varies from tour operator to another and varies from 310 to 380$ per person.
