Once, there was only one color of Bagan balloon: the dark red of the Balloons over Bagan company. Today, when travelers look up, they’ll find the yellow of Golden Eagle, the green of Oriental Balloon and multi color of STT Balloon in the skies as well.

“There are those who travel but never really arrive. Those who visit a place but never know the people. Travel is so much more when you get closer to life and how it is lived.” With Myanmar Shalom Travels you will be able to experience an authentic experience of Myanmar.
Some may wonder why hot air ballooning is the method of choice for seeing Bagan and the answer is pretty simple: Imagine . . . floating over thousand year old more than 2,000 temples and the mighty Ayeyarwaddy River as the sun rise. You will witness quite possibly the best panoramic views of Bagan and its surrounds.
Balloons begin in the morning, as the winds pick up during the day. When leaving one’s hotel early in the morning the fog can seem imposing at first, but that dissipates as the sun rises. But, perhaps even more impressive than the ride itself is the sight of a dozen balloons on the ground being blown up to their full height. There’s something so very otherworldly about it. Flights last around 45 minutes but the entire experience lasts about two and a half hours.
