Sunrise above rice fields, my hotair balloon experience

Ever wondered what Bali looks like from the sky? I found out at Tanah Gajah, Ubud, where a hot air balloon ride gave me one of the most serene, surreal experiences of my life.

Lift-off was at dawn. As the sun peeked over Mount Agung, the world below glowed golden — rice terraces shimmered, palm trees stretched long shadows, and the morning mist danced between coconut groves. The balloon didn’t go far or fast — and that’s the point. You float. You breathe. You just… exist.

🎈 The experience was short (about 7–10 minutes in the air), but utterly magical. And the view? Postcard-perfect.

After landing, I was treated to a lovely breakfast at the resort — freshly baked pastries, tropical fruits, and a cappuccino that tasted better under the sky I’d just floated through.

This isn’t a thrill ride. It’s a slow float into stillness — a moment of peace in the sky, where Bali whispers beneath your feet.

If you’re craving something different in Ubud, don’t just walk the fields. Fly above them. 🌾✨
