There are very few ways to see India the way a hot air balloon lets you see it. Floating silently above the landscape with nothing between you and the view, no engine noise and no schedule pushing you forward. Accretion Aviation offers hot air balloon rides in Jaipur and Bandhavgarh — two of the most spectacular settings in the country for this kind of experience. Whether it is a proposal, a celebration, a pre-wedding shoot or simply a morning you want to remember, this is the experience that delivers it.
A hot air balloon ride is not a thrill ride and it is not a sightseeing tour in the conventional sense. It is something quieter and more personal than either of those things. You rise slowly above the city or the forest, the noise of the ground fades away and what is left is the landscape stretching out in every direction at eye level with the horizon. In Jaipur you see the old city, the forts and the desert fringe laid out below you in a way that no viewpoint on the ground can replicate. In Bandhavgarh you float above one of India's great wildlife reserves with the possibility of spotting tigers, deer and birds across the canopy. Both settings are extraordinary and both experiences are genuinely unlike anything else we offer.

We confirm availability, walk you through the experience and handle all the arrangements from there. Flights typically launch at sunrise when the air is calm and the light is at its most beautiful. Our ground crew is present throughout the flight and the pilot manages everything from inflation to landing. All you need to do is arrive, step into the basket and look up.

Every booking comes with a complete transparent quote covering the aircraft and ground coordination at both ends with no hidden charges. Our team is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to confirm availability, handle all paperwork and get you airborne as quickly as possible.
A hot air balloon ride is a slow, silent and completely smooth ascent above the landscape. There is no engine noise, no vibration and no sensation of speed. You rise gently, float for the duration of the flight and land softly. Most passengers describe it as one of the most peaceful and visually stunning experiences they have ever had.
We currently offer hot air balloon rides in Jaipur and Bandhavgarh. Jaipur gives you panoramic views over the Pink City and the surrounding Aravalli landscape. Bandhavgarh offers a rare aerial perspective over one of India's finest national parks and tiger reserves.
This depends on the balloon and basket configuration. Contact our team with your group size and we will confirm the right arrangement for your booking.
Most flights last between 45 minutes and one hour in the air, with the full experience from arrival to completion taking around two to three hours including inflation, flight and recovery.
October to March is the ideal season for balloon flights across both locations. The weather is clear, the air is calm in the mornings and visibility is at its best. Flights operate at sunrise when conditions are most favourable.
