"Unveiling the Riches of Ottoman Heritage"
My travel experience in Turkey was nothing short of captivating. From the vibrant streets of Istanbul to the breathtaking landscapes of Cappadocia, this country has so much to offer. Istanbul, with its rich history and bustling atmosphere, left me in awe. Exploring the iconic Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque was an unforgettable experience, immersing me in the beauty of Byzantine and Ottoman architecture.
Venturing into Cappadocia was like stepping into a fairytale. The otherworldly rock formations and hot air balloon rides at sunrise created a mesmerizing landscape that felt truly magical. The ancient ruins of Ephesus and the surreal Pamukkale with its terraced thermal pools were testament to Turkey's incredible historical heritage.
Beyond the sights, the warmth and hospitality of the Turkish people stood out. From indulging in delicious kebabs and baklava to sipping Turkish tea in charming cafes, I savored every moment of the culinary delights.
Turkey's diverse blend of cultures, landscapes, and historical treasures left an indelible mark on me. It's a country that seamlessly blends the old and the new, offering a captivating journey for any traveler. I cannot wait to return and uncover more of Turkey's hidden gems.

The Most magical Hot Air Ballon ride! 🎈
Flying in a Hot Air Balloon in Cappadocia must be on Your Dream Travel Bucket list!
Cappadocia is a UNESCO-listed sight and now World Heritage. The view is amazing from above if you already had a hot balloon ride in Goreme town in Cappadocia; Fairy chimneys from above , river valleys, and cliffs, this wonderful region is ancient that you’ll be transferred back to Bronze Age behold from the air.
I would highly recommended to book your trip well in advance, as the summer months are upon us. Cappadocia is very popular with tourists so plan your trip ahead. it's very easy to book a trip to the area and see it for yourself.
We bought hot ballon ride tickets from a local tour called “Discovery Balloons” is a major Cappadocia hot air balloon operator founded in 2011, operating in the national park of Goreme.

Living in a fairytale
I can’t stop raving about how absolute beautiful Cappadocia is! I booked two stays at two different hotels. This is Henna Konak hotel - truly amazing haven to be in! The hotel decorates their rooftop and transforms it into a alfresco seating for guests to enjoy the view and you can even bring your drink or breakfast up too. They make the rooftop so instagrammable that you just can’t stop taking multiple selfies! A definitely-must-visit place and hotel for everyone if you plan on visiting Cappadocia!#turkey #cappadocia #hotairballoon
A breathtaking experience
I was fortunate to manage to get a “cave” room at Rox Cappadocia and they have one of the best views of the hot air balloons scenery! You can also book your hot air rides with the hotel. What’s more amazing is that the hotel owner just opened this hotel and he is extremely amicable and welcoming! Their breakfast was truly authentic and delish! If you are in Turkey, do plan to visit this place and book your stay with Rox (: #turkey #cappadocia #hotairballoon
Fly high @ Cappadocia!
A bucket list experience worth marking down for your next travel! ➡️ Catch Turkey’s beautiful sunrise with a hot air balloon adventure. It does get very cold up in the air during winter so make sure to bundle up🤣💕

Lost in Laos
#kuangsiwaterfall #vangvieng #hotairballoon
Luang Prabang is a wonderful place with lots to see and do. The trip up the Mekong was fascinating and very relaxing. The trip to see how prosthetic limbs are transforming the lives of people wounded by unexploded ordinance will leave a a profound and lasting memory. Glad that I have the time to visit the elephant sanctuary as well.

Hot Air Balloon @ Turkey
Amazing and memorable ride in the sky, overseeing valleys.
Started off the journey with the balloon provider fetching us at 5am at our hotel.
Bumpy road to the balloon location within valleys.
Snack pack was given to us (bread, juice, energy bar)
Flew for approximately 55 minutes (damn astonishing scenery), and the whole flight basket landed on a truck with perfect landing. 🤙🏻
Had a after flight celebration party (provider said to celebrate that we’re still alive and kicking 🤣) and we were awarded with flight certificate!
Btw, the experience was damn good. Basket was pretty sturdy and the shake was minimal. people with height phobia can still join - like me..! wont regret for sure.

Ballooning Canterbury
first hot air balloon experience. super friendly and nice pilot who flew us up the hot air balloon. magnificent view of Christchurch and the mountains around. but do be prepared to get yourself involved in some workout and get yourself dirty as you might be asked to help to keep the balloon after the ride as the grasses and soil are still wet due to the dews in the morning. early morning drive, around 5am, to the location is required also as to catch the sunrise. so be prepared to drive in the dark if you are staying at Christchurch. but, it’s totally worth it when you get to see the view from up there. and #fallingforfall but it’s spring time in New Zealand.

Global Ballooning Hot Air Balloon Experience
It was an amazing once in a lifetime experience with Global Ballooning Australia. And, I said Yes, I do! 💍
Will never forget that moment when the sun rises, the view was breathtaking 🥹 #hotairballoon #melbourne #yarravalley #globalballooning
Unique fairy chimneys view
#fallingforfall
The Cappadocia region, which is located in the city of Nevşehir, is very beautiful, especially in autumn. Fairy chimneys are different naturally formed stones that make Cappadocia famous.
Tuff structures were formed with the lava and ashes ejected by Mount Erciyes, Hasan Mountain millions of years ago, and fairy chimneys were formed as a result of these soft tuff layers being eroded by wind, flood and limestone for millions of years.
Among the most famous activities here is Hot air balloon ride or watching. Love valley is the best place to watch these balloons.
Best time to come is July to October
Note: You should come to very early to watch the ballons

Magical hot air balloons in Cappadocia
I crossed a #bucketlist trip off my list and went in a #hotairballoon ride in #cappadocia #turkey
It is simply magical being in the air and watching hundreds of balloons at sunrise!
Most rides are 60 minutes long and will start about 5 am. But it is definitely worth it to have this once in a lifetime experience.
If it is shoulder season (before June or after October), you can book your ride relatively last minute. It will also be more affordable then. We booked our ride through Airbnb experiences and the process was very easy!
I definitely recommend booking a hot at balloon ride at least once and enjoy the best of Cappadocia! #tripblazers #mytripvlog #summervacation #passionpassport
Hot Air Balloon Ride From Gold Coast
Surfers Paradise is a popular holiday destination for family, kids and friends. Why not take this trip out if the norm and head to the hinterland in gold coast with the many company offering the many hot air balloon rides.
Most of these hot air balloon companies start really early and will offer packages like breakfast with the hot air balloon or a jet ski package. If you just want a feel of the hot air balloon ride, be like us and just book a 1 hour ride that cost from $250 - $300 per person where you will experience flying over the many vineyards, the mountainous peaks of those mountains in gold coast.
We recommend booking with this company called balloonaloft as this was one of the most budget friendly one with also a free pick up from your hotel! Definitely a steal!

Experiencing a Hot Air Balloon Ride for the first time was truly a Wonderful, and Humbling thing to do. Initially, I was a bit nervous on takeoff, but when in the air, I felt so at peace. The Captain did an Amazing job with guiding the tour guests and he made us all feel super comfortable and at ease. Surprisingly while in the air, my ears popped which I wasn’t expecting, lol. (it was all worth it though). This was such a feel good time and everyone should look into trying while in Dubai.

Hot Air Balloon Experience in Yangshuo
The hot air balloon is a great experience in Yangshuo! The balloon is tied to a long rope so you don't float away. The whole experience lasts about 5 minutes. Once you get in, the balloon rises. You are in the sky for a while, then it floats back down. When it's windy, it can feel a bit unstable and scary, which is why it helps that it was tied down! #yangshuo #hotairballoon #hotairballoonyangshou #hotairballoonride #hotairballoonview

nice experience:-) only we need to wake up at 2am.
driver will pick you up at your hotel in the city with a 24 seaters Van. around 45 mins drive to the venue.
the hot air balloons are all ready at the location, what we need to do was just jumping in the basket.
it’s interesting to know that there is no driving wheel on board. so we fly according to the wind direction. you will never know where you gonna land.

Hot air balloon experience in Cappadocia 🇹🇷
Cappadocia!!! What a surreal hot air balloon experience!
Very unexpectedly, I had the chance to travel to Turkey for my first Covid-era trip out of Singapore back in May.
Cappadocia is such a special place with the otherworldly landscape – truly a masterpiece by Mother Nature.
With only a few weeks to plan for the trip, I managed to book these tours - thanks to Trip.com recommendations:
🎈 Hot air balloon ride with Butterfly Balloons
⛰ One-day Green tour that brought us to Pigeon Valley, Selime Monastery, Ihlara Valley, and Kaymakli Underground City
🏎 ATV tour
One travel tip: Remember to check the weather! The hot air balloon rides can only launch in the morning if the weather conditions are fine.
Actually we forgot to check was the weather! We thought we could see hot air balloons in the skies every morning during our stay. But we encountered some rare rainy days. Luckily, we had two precious mornings with clear weather so we could take the balloon ride one day and watched the balloons from our hotel on another day.
So are you planning to travel to Turkey next?
