EnquireBallooning in India
Overview
If you’re looking to explore a city through the sky, there is no better and relaxing way than ballooning. Soar high over the skies of and see the patchwork of fields or lego like cities below you. Ballooning is one of the best ways to also get unique perspectives of photographing a city. Many cities like Jaipur, Agra, Lonavala, Ranthambore and off Delhi locations are now catching up to the rather safe and sedate adventure, which appeals to a large composition of both the old and young. While the activity makes you fly high in the sky, it is not a typical adventure activity with sudden spurts of Adrenalin. This is consistent and calming.
Top Places
There are more than six regions in India where one can enjoy ballooning. Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Karnataka, National Capital Region, Uttar Pradesh and Goa are the key destinations where one can try this. In fact Agra has been hosting Taj Balloon Festival as well.

Highlights
Soar as high as 5000 feet or more for half an hour. Ballooning is all about balance, the wind direction and the direction of the navigator who propels the large balloon with the fire. Four to twenty people can be accommodated in different sizes of the basket-like standing place under the large parachute of the balloon. Both the ascent and the descent are slow and gradual.
