The Balloons over Bagan


Burma

Best time to be there

Burma has three clear seasons: from March to May are the very hot summer months, the wet and humid monsoon runs from May to October and the cold dry winter lasts from November to February. The best time of year to visit is late November early December when the rains have gone, the landscape is lush and green and the skies are crystal clear. However any time from late November to March is a good time to travel.

Known as the city of four million pagodas, Bagan (or Pagan as it used to be called) is the cradle of Burmese civilisation, the first capital of the once mighty Bumar kingdom. Although Bagan's early history is shrouded in mystery, chronicles recount that the city grew out of 19 villages.

Enjoy the sunrise over Bagan from aboard a hot air balloon. Get a magnificent "bird's eye" view of the thousand-year-old pagodas, temples and the mighty Ayeyarwaddy River to fully appreciate the scale and historical importance of this magical place.
