The restrictions are more to be sure that they don’t fly at a lower altitudine. Not the government but the wind is the one which decides each morning the exact route of the balloons; if you are lucky can see even more from above; a bad day can happen but it’s quite rare

Thanks for keeping me updated. I’ll get a copy of the new flight path and get this post updated.

Hope you had an amazing time!

I am currently traveling in Myanmar by myself, and I totally agree with you about the type of travelers here. Quite a few solo female backpackers but with surprisingly very few adventurous souls.

As for the hot air balloon rides over Bagan, it may not even be worth it now as the government imposed restrictions starting this year. The balloons can no longer fly at low altitudes and no longer directly over Bagan. Only high altitudes south of Bagan, so the views are mediocre.
