The beginning of a journey almost always spells how good and exciting it will be. And this journey is like few others. A hot air balloon ride over Jaipur is one of the best ways of earning a thrilling new perspective on the popular city. Men and ropes hold the balloon down when it's fired up and ready; once these bonds are broken you are ready to fly...
The one-hour journey also takes you over the Aravalis. The barren landscape turns into a stark painting when seen from above.
You will fly up to a height of 3,500-3,700 ft, taking in sights never before seen and never forgotten.
"I am on the top of the world/ Looking down on creation"-the lyrics of this evergreen song take on a different meaning as you float above Jaipur, seeing it from a place very few have been at.
A fabulous bird's eye view of the Nahargarh (hilltop) and Jaigarh forts. You may have seen Jaipur from Nahargarh but not many have seen the fort in its entirety.
If it's not a windy day, your hot air balloon ride will give you a never-before sight of the striking Jal Mahal.
Looking down from the balloon, you also get many glimpses of life and everyday activities in the villages outside Jaipur.
A smiling instructor with oodles of confidence is the best thing you could ask for on a hot balloon ride. The next best thing to pray for is fair weather.
The carrier can fly up to eight people at a time and camaraderie above the clouds is unlike any other you are likely to experience.
