Floating in a Hot air balloon

Hot air balloon works on the simple principle of buoyancy that a balloon filled with hot air becomes lighter and tends to rise. And as it rises, it takes the balloon and anything attached to it. The more the hot air in it, the greater it rises. There is a basket attached to the hot air balloon that carries people providing them an exciting flying experience. The wicker basket is comfortable and the experience is almost like floating in air.

It is good to take a hot air balloon ride either at dawn or at dusk as the winds are most favorable during this part of the day. It can be very warm in the basket, but you will be quite surprised how much cooler the air is a few thousand feet off the ground!

The hot air balloon is called an “envelope.”" It's usually made of nylon, which is the perfect fabric for hot air balloons: it's lightweight but durable, and it can withstand heat without melting easily.













Buying a hot air balloon is the direct way of learning about the sport. The cost of a hot air balloon varies from Rs 1, 00,000 to Rs 3, 00,000 depending on the use. A sport sized balloon costs less than a commercial one.

There cannot be anything more exciting than soaring over the earth in a hot air balloon. These balloons are exciting, fascinating and pure fun. If you have never taken a ride in one of them then you are definitely missing something.
