When: December 2012 to January 2013
Where: Karnataka, India
If you want to enjoy a fun-filled year-end by relaxing on lush green grounds and watching
colourful serene hot air balloons floating in the airy sky above you then Karnataka is the place to
be. Karnataka tourism is all set to unleash its first initiative to organize a Hot Air Ballooning
Festival starting from December 2012 to January 2013. The festival will take place in three
different regions Mysore, Hampi and Bidar. About 30 hot-air balloon enthusiasts from India and
abroad will participate in this four-day event.
Since the dawn of time, humans have been intrigued by the mystery of flight and the apparent
magic that allows birds to take to the air and soar for hours. Hot air balloons use simple
principles from physics to create the serene sense of natural flight, these balloons are based on a
very basic scientific principle - warmer air rises in cooler air.
So experience the ceaseless beauty and get a birds-eye-view of the world by taking a hot air
balloon flight during the festival.
