Parasailing and Ballooning in Rajasthan
Hot Air Balloon - Balloon Adventure Tourism is Famous in Rajasthan
The Joy of being aloft in the wind and the thrill of defying the elements is what parasailing and ballooning are all about. The spirit of adventure and bravery has always been a prominent part of Rajasthani life.
About Ballooning in Rajasthan
A trip in a hot-air balloon over the sandy terrain of Rajasthan, from an historic fort to a magnificent palace, can be very exhilarating. Defying the laws of gravity and parasailing through the wind is thrilling. The large strips of barren land have proved to be ideal for gliding.
The undulating sand dunes are ideal for ballooning buffs. People can even travel short distances between towns or historic resorts in these hot air balloons.
The best, of course, is to coast over fairs such as Pushkar, or Beneshwar or Nagaur in a hot-air balloon.
The best time for hot air ballooning is from October to March when the temperature becomes cooler. The cold climate makes the hot air inside the balloon lighter and enables it to rise and stay up for a longer period.
