Getting ready for the Hot Air Balloon Ride

Are you ready?

The most exciting part of the Cappadocia hike is that we get to go on these Hot Air Balloon rides.

We set out early in the morning at 4 AM to get to the place where there are many tourists going on the hot air balloon ride. There are about 40 to 50 balloons setting out every morning.

When we arrive to the place, we have our breakfast first to get ready.

One by one the balloon sets off. It takes some time to blow the air into the balloon to get it ready.

When we go up there, it is absolutely breath-taking!

Here we go:

And I take all of you with me as we get up there.

It is cracking dawn now.

Map of Turkey

Cappadocia is located in Central Turkey. One can get here by plane, flying into Istanbul and then you can take domestic flights to Cappadocia.

We drove from Istanbul to Cappadocia. It takes about 3 days of easy driving.

You must make a visit to Cappadocia at least once in your life time. Make sure you spend some time walking some of these mountain trails when you come to Cappadocia. It is very natural and scenic.

Map of Ulchisar

Ulchisar is located at the highest point of Cappadocia land. If you wish to stay at the place that is most scenic, Ulchisar is the town to go.

Nice! Cappadocia is very high up on my travel list. I have been to a lot of places with interesting rock formations but these chimneys are still missing... Did you drive yourself from Istanbul to Ulchisar?

Yes, we drove from Istanbul but we made stops along the way like Ankara, Konya, etc. So it was not a straight drive.
