This is a join-in tour. Your adventure starts as the sun rises, with a magical take-off. The balloon floats gently in the wind, providing a well-poised platform for viewing the breathtaking scenery. Gradually monuments appear through the mist. The balloon will go anywhere the wind takes it, so the landing point could be next to a pagoda, on a sandbank, in a field by a village or even along the riverside. You may need to wait a little for the crew to reach the landing point, before starting your landing celebration. The following schedule is only approximate, so don’t make any time-critical decisions , such as booking an early airplane, based on the following times. 05:00—05:30 Be picked up from your hotel and brought to the take-off site. 05:30—06:30 Meet your pilot and listen to a safety briefing/Coffee or Tea with cookie/watch the balloon being inflated. 06:30—06:45 Get into the basket and prepare for lift-off. 06:45—07:30 Enjoy the magical flight over the archaeological zone. 07:30—08:00 Join in a light champagne celebration and receive a flight certificate, have a light breakfast. 08:00—08:30 Return to your hotel.
