The Chedi Club Tanah Gajah Ubud hotel in Bali is offering hot air balloon rides over Bali.
Kompas.com reported that the balloon will fly 50 meters above ground and offer its passengers panoramic views of rice paddies, forests, Mount Agung and the homes of Ubud.
“Bali has everything: beaches, temples, volcanoes, rice paddies, barong, dancers and sacred forests. However, there are no balloon rides yet. It is the perfect way to see Ubud from up above,” said Deasy Swandarini, general manager of The Chedi Club Ubud.
