Soar Above the Ancient Wonders with Oriental Ballooning

Getting There

• Walking

  From the center of Kyaiktiyo, head towards the Kyaiktiyo Pagoda Road. Walk in the direction of the hill where the pagoda is located. You will pass by several local shops and eateries along the way. Continue walking for about 20 minutes until you reach the base of the hill where you can find the entrance to the Kyaiktiyo Pagoda area.

• Walking

  Once at the entrance of the Kyaiktiyo Pagoda, you can ask local guides or check posted signs for directions towards the nearest transport point for ballooning tours. Look for signs that mention 'Oriental Balloning' or ask local vendors for assistance.

• Walking

  Follow the signs or directions provided by locals towards Nyaung-U, which is where Oriental Balloning is located. It may require a bit of walking or taking a local bicycle rickshaw, depending on your proximity to Nyaung-U and the ballooning office.

• Bicycle Rickshaw

  If you prefer not to walk, you can hire a bicycle rickshaw from the entrance of Kyaiktiyo Pagoda. Simply tell the driver 'Nyaung-U' or 'Oriental Balloning,' and they will take you to the location. The ride should take approximately 15-20 minutes depending on traffic.

• Walking

  After arriving in Nyaung-U, locate the address 5WR2+M8H, which is identifiable by asking locals or checking for signage. The ballooning office is usually marked and is a popular tourist destination.
