Hot Air Ballooning in India

Hot air ballooning in India is something that you can enjoy with your entire family or with that special someone in your life. It is a good way to see beautiful landscapes from a substantial height, without spending loads like you do when booking airline tickets. On television, you must have seen colourful balloons, and some even in unique shapes, flying above the ground. You too can indulge in this activity as arrangements for the same are made at various places in the country. This engagement is perfect for a laid-back evening, when you just want some time off from your hectic life.

About Hot Air Ballooning

Hot air ballooning in India is organised at a number of locations, where proper facilities are present for the successful execution of the activity. Amongst all the places, Lonavala and Jaipur are the most popular ones. Your ballooning experience will be around 3 hours long, and you will touch elevations of approximately 1200 feet. This is high enough to make adrenaline rush through your body and give you a memorable time.

The balloon is made of synthetic fabric, and a basket is attached to it by the means of ropes. Coatings of chemical are applied on its surface to prevent air from passing through it. Liquefied propane is contained in metal tanks, and is fed into burners by opening inlet nozzles. These tanks may also have gauges to measure the volume and pressure of the contents. As the gas is lit, the increasing temperature results in lift, and the whole structure starts flying.

You may find some flights equipped with various instruments to aid navigation. Whenever you want to land, open the vent on top of the envelope to release excess gas.

Weather and Safety Conditions Required

Weather is the most important thing, on which hot air ballooning in India depends; hence you should have some prior knowledge about it. The activity is generally organised at 5:30 am and 4:00 pm, and the reason for it is the position of the sun. The sun is not overhead, and is below the horizon during these times. As a result, the ground is not heated much, and winds do not gather high velocities, making these times perfect for the engagement.

You must also know what the safety aspects and conditions are for participating in the activity. Complete physical fitness and the ability to stand throughout the duration of the flight are absolutely indispensable. You have to be over 5 years of age, and at least 1.5 metres or 4 feet tall. The engagement is forbidden to pregnant women, considering their safety. Carry tinted goggles on the flight as the sun may seem brighter at such a height as compared from the ground.
