What to explore at Angkor Balloon? This balloon ride over stunning Angkor Wat is an exciting, fun, yet tranquil experience that will stay forever in your memory after the flight is over. You'll relax and have the great opportunity to watch the magnificent Angkor Wat Temples from the sky! You may find this trip exciting if you have never been in an air balloon before, but the basket is very small, uncomfortable and hot. Try to ensure that you have clear skies before you take this flight. If you do not like discomfort, you should choose the shorter trip.
Approximately 1km west from Angkor Wat a bright yellow helium balloon resembling a giant egg yolk offers visitors a bird's-eye view of the magnificent Angkor temples.
The German made helium balloon is attached to a rope and ascends approximately 200 metres, floats for a while and then descends. It isn't actually a tour and it only lasts about 10 minutes but it is enough to get some great pictures of Angkor Wat on a clear day.
The balloon flies approximately 30 times a day from sunrise to sundown and can carry up to 30 passengers.
The Cambodia hot air balloon ride is conducted twice daily during sunset and sundown in the province of Siem Reap.

Find below the most frequently asked questions on visiting Angkor Wat.
Angkor Wat
Q1: What is Angkor Wat?
A: Angkor Wat literally means the “city temple”. It’s the largest single religious monument in the world. The temple complex is a highly symbolic structure with layout based on a sacred design of the Hindu cosmos.
Q2: Where is Angkor Wat?
A: It’s in Siem Reap, Cambodia. It’s easy to get to by air from many Asian cities, especially neighboring cities such as Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City and Kuala Lumpur.
Q3: When was Angkor Wat built?
A: It was built in the early 12th century during the reign of King Suryavarman II, with later additions.
Q4: Why was Angkor Wat built?
A: It was originally dedicated to the Hindu deity Vishnu to express the king’s devotion and enable the king to be a recipient of Vishnu’s beneficence. It was also a show of the king’s power and the empire’s prosperity.
Q5: Why does Angkor Wat face west, rather than the traditional east?
A: The most likely explanation is that the temple was dedicated to Vishnu, frequently associated with the west. An alternative explanation is that it was built primarily as a tomb for the king, as the western-orientation is often associated with death.
Q6: When was Angkor Wat discovered?
A: The temple was visited in the mid 19th century by Henri Mouhot, a French naturalist. Publication of his travel notes popularized the ruins among western readers.
Before Mouhot’s visit, some western visitors had already been there, but little attention was paid to their reports. The temple itself had never been forgotten by the Khmers and always remained a place of worship.
Q7: What’s the difference between Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom?
A: Angkor Wat is a single Hindu monument built during the early 12th century by King Suryavarman II.
Angkor Thom, which means the “great city”, was once the largest known city in Khmer empire. It was founded during the late 12th century by King Jayavarman VII. Within the city there are many ruins; of which Bayon is the most famous, with many smiling stone-carved Buddha faces.
