When people think of Manali, they often picture snow, adventure sports, or beautiful drives. But hot air ballooning in Manali tour packages are now becoming a popular experience for those looking for something calm and unique. Instead of rushing downhill on skis or paragliding through the wind, hot air balloon rides let you rise slowly into the sky.
From above, you can see wide views of the Beas River, green valleys, nearby villages, and mountains in every direction. The ride is smooth, with no engine sound, just the quiet whoosh of the balloon as it lifts.
Most hot air balloon rides in Manali are tethered, meaning the balloon stays connected to the ground for safety. The ride usually lasts about 10 to 15 minutes, which is enough to enjoy the views and take great pictures. It’s an experience that’s relaxing, memorable, and perfect for all age groups.
