6 Best Places to Enjoy Hot Air Balloon Ride in India 

Riya Teotia

Kamshet, Maharashtra 

Sky Waltz launches hot-air balloons into the skies on weekdays and weekends between November to April. The meeting point is Orritel Hotel, Talegaon, along the old Mumbai-Pune highway and the ride can accommodate up to nine people. 

Chandor, South Goa 

Explore the sunshine state a little differently when you visit next. At the crack of dawn every day (weather permitting), Tiger Balloon Safaris soar at 2,000ft over Goa’s beaches and emerald fields 

Bandhavgarh National Park, Madhya Pradesh 

Ditch a safari jeep ride to revel in 360-degree views of Bandhavgarh National Park. Sky Waltz organises the ride which is limited to the buffer zone, where you can catch a glimpse of not just tigers, but also leopards and bears. 

Hampi, Karnataka 

What better way to see the monuments and cave sites at Hampi than to observe them from hundreds of metres above the ground. Karnataka offers the perfect setting for a peaceful time raised on the West coast of India; catching up as one of the top destinations to enjoy hot air balloon rides in India. 

Pushkar and Jaipur, Rajasthan 

Catch a bird’s eye view of the Pink City’s many forts and palaces on a hot-air balloon ride. You can choose to fly over the north of the city over Amber Fort, or Samode Palace. There are also flights over Pushkar which usually take place during the 10-day fair in November. 

Manali, Himachal Pradesh 

The hot air balloon ride in the Himalayan town of Manali is not your regular one-hour flight in the air. The ride, which is tethered by a rope and lasts for about seven minutes, is much more affordable and picturesque than any other options listed here.
