Cappadocia
The central part of Turkey is famous for hot air balloonists, thanks to the natural beauty of the landscape. The chimney-like rock formations have fascinated people for thousands of years, and it has a genuinely prehistoric look. The balloon flights start from the town of Goreme, and many take place early in the day so that you get to see the sun rise.
Sedona
Arizona is a top-rated destination for hot air balloon enthusiasts. The desert is home to the distinctive red sandstone rock formations. The hot air balloon flights tend to stay lower here so that those on board can get a good view of the native wildlife.
Bagan
If you ever take a trip to Myanmar, you should consider a hot air balloon ride in the Bagan area. Here you will be able to see the many Buddhist temples from the air. Some of the temples date back to the 9th century. And the effects of erosion over the years has given them a fascinating look. The trip organizers here have no fixed landing spot, so your trip could end almost anywhere.
Napa Valley
Most people visit Napa Valley to make the most of the vineyards, but there is another way to enjoy all that this region offers. You could take a hot air balloon ride from Yountville, and while in the air, you will be able to see the Mayacamas Mountains, and even the skyline of San Francisco will be visible on some trips.
