Hot air balloon flight

Description

Rising above the ground in the basket of a hot air balloon and seeing Armenia from the air is a completely different way to experience the country. There is no engine noise or sense of speed — just a smooth flight, mountains on the horizon and familiar landscapes seen from a new perspective.

Flights mainly take place in the Garni area, with the exact route determined by wind direction and weather conditions. The complete experience lasts approximately 4–5 hours, including around one hour in the air.

Before take-off, participants can join the crew in preparing the balloon for flight. GoPro footage is recorded during the journey, and after landing, the experience ends with light refreshments and a personalized flight certificate.

The hot air balloon flight can be arranged as a separate adventure from Yerevan or included in a private, family or corporate travel program in Armenia.
