Hot air balloon is the first thing that comes to mind when you say Cappadocia, like a synonym. It is one of the most famous places to fly to witness magnificent landscapes.
Colourful balloons floating above fairy chimneys and lunar landscapes look simply fabulous. The ballooning experience provides a bird’s eye perspective of beautiful valleys made by volcanic action shaped into their current form by rain and wind.
Hot air ballooning in Cappadocia is an early morning activity. The first hour of daylight is considered the safest time for air ballooning as you take your flight before the birds wake up.
Most ballooning companies work end to end i.e.from hotel pick up to drop. Everything is included in your cost, from registration, breakfast, a guide, and a little ceremony after landing. You are picked up from your hotel before dawn and then transferred to the company’s office. After the confirmation from the weather department, you are further taken to your take-off spot.
The ballooning flight usually lasts from 45 mins to an hour. And one basket contains either 16, 20, or 24 pax, depending upon the balloon size. Enjoy the amazing valleys and landmarks as you take off.
The sunrise view in a hot air balloon over the Cappadocia horizon looks spectacular, and you feel refreshed while soaking in the fresh morning air. The best part about hot air ballooning here is that balloons are allowed to descend as low as 1000 m to the ground, giving you the best view of photogenic landscapes.
Most hot air balloons start early to experience sunrise at around 4 am-5 am. It is better to reach a little early to save yourself from many last-minute hassles.
Always book your hot air balloon flight in advance. Only a total of 100 and 150 (in peak season) balloons are permitted to fly in a day. And experiencing a hot air balloon is the highlight of Cappadocia.
It is better to book your hot air balloon flight on the first day of your arrival. Many people reserve it for the last day as a finale to the trip. But the balloon flight may get canceled due to weather conditions. If your flight gets canceled by any chance, you will have to reschedule.
Hot air balloon in Cappadocia is an experience you won’t forget. It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so make the most of it.
