Hot air balloons flying over the temples of Jaipur

Balloon over Jaipur

Sail within a breath of lofty hilltop forts and fine regal palaces. Look down upon sleepy villages waking to the early morning sun. Drift past expansive waterside manors and intricately stone carved temples in a magical hot air balloon adventure.

Climb into the basket of your air chariot and marvel as 100 feet of voluminous fabric majestically rise with the dragon-like roar of the flame, we may see the magnificent ‘Pink City’ of Jaipur in the distance. The colours, vibrancy and striking monuments combine to make Jaipur stunningly beautiful at dawn.

As the balloon’s course is entirely dependent upon the wind, we cannot confirm the exact flight path your balloon will take nor the panoramas and monuments you will see. No two flights are ever the same, each will present unique and picture perfect photo opportunities. Dependent upon wind conditions, the pilot can ‘turn’ the balloon using ‘rotation venting’ to achieve magical aerial views.
