| Pushkar Balloon Safari |
Take a mid-air parikrama around the holy Pushkar Lake. A flight over Pushkar will give you a kaleidoscopic view of one of the holiest cities of Hindus, home to the only Temple of Bramha in the world.
Most flights will take off from around the Pushkar Lake. You can also choose to fly from around the Mela ground, the Stadium grounds, etc., depending on wind conditions.
Your flight is with a highly experienced team. Equipment and training are to European and US international safety standards, flights are insured, and the friendly UK- and US-trained pilots (including former commercial aviation pilots) have thousands of hours of balloon flight experience, internationally and in India.
You watch as the balloon is prepared and inflated and the flight lasts for around one hour. The sensation is completely different from being on top of a tall building, as detachment from the ground removes the uneasy sensations of height. There is no turbulence, and even people who usually suffer severe motion sickness experience no effects from a balloon flight.
The Balloon Safari Experience :
Pre flight activity: About 30 minutes between the reporting time and flight takeoff – A brief orientation
program is conducted by the pilot on the art and science of hot air ballooning.
Duration of flight: About one hour of sheer magical in air experience of floating over Castles or Palaces or gracing the Mountains or the Lakes or Villages.
Post flight activity : On landing which normally always happens in village areas and the balloon with their sheer size & phenomenal attraction make hoards of people run towards it and surround it. This creates a kaleidoscope of rural Indian culture & colors that simply astounds the tourist with something that they have always been wanting to experience. This is combined with witnessing the giant balloon take miniature state while being deflated and packed into a bag by our team of enthusiastic and highly
trained crew members.
Pick up and drop : We provide free pick up and drop from & to the hotel & is absolutely not bargained or negotiated.
F&B services : A choice of hot and cold beverages is served with cookies at the launch site.
