Soon, the skies of Delhi will be dotted with vibrant hot air balloons, offering city dwellers a thrilling new way to experience the capital. The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is all set to launch hot air balloon rides across four locations, promising an unforgettable aerial view of the city’s landscape.
According to DDA officials, an agency has already been finalized to operate this adventure activity, which is expected to start in the coming months.
Where Can You Enjoy the Ride?
The hot air balloon rides are proposed at four scenic and spacious spots in Delhi:
Yamuna Riverfront
Sanjay Lake
Dwarka Sector 29
Rohini’s Japanese Park
Each location has been selected based on safety, space availability, and tourism potential.
What Will It Cost?
While the exact pricing is yet to be officially announced, sources suggest the tickets may range between Rs1,000 to Rs3,000 per person, depending on the duration and altitude of the ride.
When Will It Begin?
The rides are likely to begin once the agency completes necessary safety and infrastructure checks, including coordination with aviation and weather departments. The tentative launch is expected later this year, with trial runs scheduled soon.
Delhi’s Tourism Gets a Lift
This initiative is a part of DDA’s broader efforts to promote eco-tourism and urban adventure sports in the city. It’s expected to attract not just residents but also tourists looking for unique experiences in Delhi
