“Cover the Earth before it covers you!”
This was how we felt moments before we were about to take our Cappadocia balloon ride. It was the adrenaline! Cappadocia is in the heart of Turkey, known for its fairy chimneys and breathtaking landscapes. The famous Cappadocia balloon tour is the best way for you to drown in the aura of this god’s masterpiece.
The Cappadocia balloon ride is something that you must have on your bucket list! 3000 feet above the ground, everything seems like a fairytale. We had seen so many mesmerising pictures that we knew we had to tick this off our Turkey itinerary.
We booked our Cappadocia balloon tour with “Voyager Cappadocia,” and the experience surpassed our expectations! If you’re wondering about the Cappadocia balloon ride price, keep reading this till the end.
A lit view of hot air balloons flying high in Cappadocia
About to take the flight
We’ve all witnessed sunrise before, but the breathtaking sunrise view from a hot air balloon Cappadocia cannot be described in words.
As the sun rises from the horizon, you witness something surreal! You look forward, and you see the majestic sun rising; you look around and see 150 other turkey balloons witnessing the magic happen in awe. You look down, and you get to see the majestic landscapes getting the first light of the day; you see fairy rocks, and for a second, you think that the legend that says that these rocks have fairies living in them might actually be true because it’s just so beautiful.
We flew over some major landmarks in the city, and all of this was done with full safety precautions and under the presence of a skilled pilot. We marked the completion of our ride by getting a “certificate of flight attendance” and later enjoyed a light breakfast with flight companions. We held our champagne glasses high as we toasted to a memorable experience, something we’ll take with us for the rest of our lives!
All in all, it’s something words, pictures, or videos cannot describe. It’s safe to say that the Cappadocia balloon ride is one of the best experiences to take in Turkey.
Enchanted and taking in the beauty from high above
Cappadocia is one of the best places in the world to experience a hot air balloon ride because of its ideal weather conditions. While most places in Europe operate for only 60 days a year, the Turkey balloon experience is open for 250 days!
Almost all companies offering hot air ballooning turkey packages arrange for a pick-up/drop-off facility from any centrally located hotel in Cappadocia. Since the main highlight of the ride is the sunrise view, the pick-up time is anywhere between 4:30 to 5:30 AM to ensure you don’t miss the amazing sunrise view.
All you see is balloons around
If we talk about the Cappadocia balloon ride price, it can range anywhere upwards or downwards of ₹14,000 per person depending upon the package you select.
As far as the flight duration is concerned, you can expect it to be anywhere around 1 hour. Do note that not all companies offer the same flight route. You can also check out luxury packages that give you up to 75 minutes of air time!
Happy birdies with completion certificates
The Spring(April to June) and Fall(September and October) are considered to be the best time to experience the turkey balloon ride.
Many times, due to weather conditions such as rain, wind, and storms, your ride might be canceled. Most companies offer a full refund or rescheduling options in such cases, so make sure that you confirm that with your company.
Is this something that excites you? If you are someone who loves nature and the adrenaline rush, then this is definitely something you should go for!
