Hot Air Balloon Rides in Vang Vieng, Laos
Take a trip down to Vang Vieng Laos, and you’ll have an amazing variety of activities to choose from; perhaps one of the most mesmerizing, however, is climbing the crystal clear blue skies in a colorful hot air balloon!
You’ll have to arrange the trip ahead of time with one of many hot air balloon companies, and they will transport you to where the balloons are literally “blown up”–an awesome sight in itself–the enormous cloth balloons unfolded, connected to a large basket, and slowly inflated.
As the balloons take off, an enthralling show of color fills the sky, and they’re off, floating high above the little picturesque town of vang vieng far, far below.
These trips are done morning, afternoon, and evening, and last around 40 minutes. One important thing to remember if you are interested in hot air ballooning, however, is that these trips are done only during the dry season, as the rain during the wetter parts of the year can cause complications with the flights. So the best time to plan this activity is between the months of November and June, but this is certainly an experience you won’t want to miss!
