Cambodia Balloon Adventures

4 unforgettable cool-season adventures in Siem Reap - SilverKris

"At the height of the cool season, this operator runs sunrise and afternoon hot-air balloon flights (typically December to March), and the sunrise tour is worth the 5am pickup. With space for up to eight—or a romantic private buyout for two arranged via your hotel or directly—you’ll float for 25 to 60 minutes depending on the wind, with UK- and US-licensed pilots and balloons maintained to the strictest international safety and quality standards. Because Angkor’s temple complex is a no-fly zone, you get unforgettable, sunrise-lit views of the lush Cambodian countryside—swaths of green punctuated by ponds, sugar palms and tiny villages—and, if conditions are right, you may even drift over the gorgeous Bakong Temple." - Tara Sering
