Like a child’s fantasy come true, giant balloons billow out their force and rise in the sky in colorful parade as balloonists suspended on what look like precariously hang baskets, but what are actually firm platforms, sail over ground in their air blown airships.
Standing in the basket is a delightful sensation, and it feels just like standing in a floating balcony.
The
average basket carries two to three persons depending on the
size of balloon.
For
amateurs and professionals, joy rides can be arranged with
balloon clubs in various parts of the country. The bird’s
eye view of the lush fields, the rivers and rivulets, are the
sky scrappers and famous monuments add to the excitement and
thrill.
