🎈 What is a 'Tethered' Hot Air Balloon Ride?
For safety reasons within the city limits, these rides are usually tethered. This means the balloon is tied securely with strong ropes to the ground. It goes up to a significant height (approx. 100-200 feet) allowing you to enjoy the panoramic view and take stunning photos, before being gently pulled back down.
Why You Shouldn't Miss This:
- ✅ Instagram-Worthy: Perfect for content creators and photographers.
- ✅ Family Friendly: A safe adventure for kids and adults alike.
- ✅ No Traffic, Just Views: Escape the Delhi chaos for a few magical moments.
⚠️ Important Tips Before You Go
- Book in Advance: Since this is a new attraction, slots are expected to fill up fast.
- Weather Dependent: Balloon rides depend heavily on wind conditions. If it's too windy, rides may be paused.
- Dress Comfortably: Wear flat shoes; avoid heels as you will be standing in a basket.
