We Go Up, Before The Sun Does! (Hot Air Ballooning @Jaipur)

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Hey guys!

I have been a little busy the last few days with some work along with the Steemit meet up which was held here at Jaipur on 15th January. I will be sharing the pictures soon with you guys :)

Between all of this I happened to do a Balloon Safari yesterday morning which was an unforgettable experience for sure! It was an hour ride and was organised by Sky Waltz. I woke up at 4:30 am, which is not my most favourite thing in the world.. But I assure you that the views I saw during the safari were some of the most beautiful ones of my life! The location was an hour's drive away from the city which felt like years to me, thanks to my half asleep/zombie mode.

Once we reached there I immediately caught the glimpse of the basket. They were slowly preparing for heating the balloon. There were plenty of people who had travelled from far away to do the ride.

I was filled with pure joy when I found out that these guys were serving tea/coffee! I immediately took hold of my tea <3

Check out the following video!

This is what I was fortunate enough to witness. Wouldn't you love it if this was the very first thing you saw?

That's not a UFO. Just the Gopro! (2005 ft high)

I find myself in absolute bliss amongst nature!

Sometimes you can find interesting stuff while looking up in mid air!

I remember having the strongest urge to wave my wand, get my art supplies & start painting this view!

My little travel companion. Remember this from my rafting experience?

It was extremely sweet of these guys to provide us the pictures/video shortly. Look how cute the key ring is! Also, it was a sheer coincidence that my t-shirt actually had a balloon printed on it!

I must say, every moment of the ride was worth waking up to. For those of you who want to know more about this please click on the link as it will take you to their official page. If you have been following me for a while, you must have known by now that I love doing things like these and I will be checking a lot of things off of my bucket list this year. Let me know what you have on yours!

Till then..


Keep Creating

Lots of Love <3

Sort:  

You had royal fun

Wow

What was the price of the ride?

And I await the steemit Jaipur meet post

It was breathtaking <3
The price was around 10k :)

I am sure it was..

10k ok thats a bit pricey.

Yeah it kinda was!

Hi @aishwarya, I hope you had a lot of fun. This seems very good activity to break the routine. I also went to a nearby kids point where I availed the opportunity to experience 4D video. The most interesting thing was some kids watching that video 50% with their eyes and 50% with those glasses. (Lol) It was sort of defense mechanism to avoid the horror of that video. Overall, it was good to go out and change my routine and get some energy.

By the way, your hair look like that of priestess Melisandre.

Steem On!

It was really peaceful. A little slow for my taste but definitely relaxing. One thing on my to do list is painting while doing all this stuff! :D Thanks for your compliment :P

Hahaha that sounds fun! I can totally imagine the kids doing that. It's nice that you got a break from your routine!

Wonderful fun loving activity and it seem to be more adventure to go and seems to be fly at the height of 2000 ft. Beside this your photography was much more appreciable that made your buy schedule very simple during whole days.

It certainly is! You have to try this the next time you are here :)

Wow that is so awesome! Someday I would love to try this too...ive always wanted to go to Myanmar, theres a place there that does this stuff too...im sure many places do but it was the first place I saw this kinda thing... im so happy for you💕🌺 I always imagine myself getting engaged in the air balloon and then the ring would accidentally fall...bummer haha love ur post💕

you definitely should! It is worthwhile for sure <3

Beautiful

Definitely <3

Amazing. Was not aware of this,otherwisr would have tried in Nov when I was there (though it was official trip and I had a little time for me for any tourism)

Wanna try on my next visit.

You should definitely :)

Awesome, photoholic. Enjoy buddy

hahaha True :P
Thank you :)

It is in my wish list , great experience, thanks for sharing!!

Hope you get to do this soon :)

wonderful ... looks thrilling. Did they give any jacket to wear in case of a mishappening?

Oh no no. Nothing like that. They gave some safety measures and postures to consider before take off :)
