Breathtaking Experience

On 6 July 2019, BAGAN has been named as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Fly with us and enjoy the experience of a life time over Bagan - home to the largest concentration of Buddhist temples, pagodas, stupas and ruins in the world with many dating from the 11th and 12th centuries.

Golden Eagle Ballooning is a boutique hot air balloon company. That is why we can only accept limited reservations per day. We have 2 types of boutique flights: Classic or VIP.

We start flying early in the morning when the first gleams of the sunshine skims over the breath-taking landscape of Bagan. The whole region suddenly turns into a magical paradise for photographers.

Rave Reviews

Amazing views, pilot, crew, experience!

My mom and I absolutely loved our experience with Golden Eagle Ballooning! We were the first group to take flight and got to enjoy the sun rise and saw all of the other balloons rise. Pick up is early with this company but it’s worth it for sure to get the best view for this incredible spectacle. Jason our pilot was also super knowledgeable about the area and gave detailed explanations about the main sites we overflew. We are so glad we picked this company and I can only recommend them! Such a fantastic experience all around and great banana bread at the end!!
