6 days in the cultural heartland of Myanmar seen from a hot

Now visitors to Myanmar can view what Marco Polo described as
'one of the finest sights in the world' - from the unique and
enchanting platform of a hot air balloon basket.
Myanmar has been an inspiration to travelers for centuries.
Our exclusive balloon safaris take you to the most stunning
