Serene sunrise ballooning over Jaipur

Float above Jaipur at sunrise in a vibrant hot air balloon for a rare, peaceful perspective on Rajasthan’s capital. This serene experience offers a gentle dose of adventure and an unforgettable start to your day.
Everything we do is custom made by real Asia experts...

Rise with the sun over the countryside surrounding Jaipur, peppered with old forts and a patchwork villages.

Drift wherever the breeze takes you, leaving roads and rigid plans behind. With expert pilots and panoramic views, it’s an uplifting experience in every sense.

It’s easy to get swept up in Jaipur’s sensory overload — the colours, the crowds, the carved facades — but few things offer more clarity than seeing it all from the air. A sunrise balloon ride is one of the most tranquil and surprising ways to appreciate the scale and splendour of the city and the Aravalli hills beyond.

What to expect from your Jaipur balloon ride:

  • Early morning pick-up and transfer to the launch site just outside the city.
  • Tea, coffee and cake as the balloons are prepared — a spectacle in itself.
  • Safety briefing and gentle lift-off with an experienced pilot.
  • A 45–60 minute flight, floating over fields and villages.
  • A celebratory landing and return to your hotel in time for breakfast.

Celebrating in style

“I couldn't have imagined a better way to celebrate my birthday, it was a pinch me moment. ”

Dawn above the Pink City

Rural life stirs below as you rise gently into the early light. Float above the outskirts of the city, skim across green fields, or pass over quiet villages where early risers wave from rooftops.

An uplifting way to explore

With no fixed flight path, your route depends entirely on the wind — and that’s part of the magic. Every flight is different, offering a slow, mindful journey above the colour and contrasts of Rajasthan.

The joy of the journey

The balloon’s inflation is half the fun — burners roar, canvas blooms and excitement builds. You’ll be guided every step of the way by a professional pilot and support crew who bring warmth and humour to your experience.

Fantastic holiday

Using Selective Asia took all the stress out of booking and organising the trip ourselves as we were travelling around the country. Selective Asia were really responsive to our needs and created our perfect honeymoon holiday. They were available whenever we had questions or needed some help. I would highly recommend using their service!

Another fantastic trip with Selective Asia

We’ve been on 5 trips to the Far East with Selective Asia over 17 years with the same consultant (Lionel). They take the time to tailor the holiday individually with invaluable local knowledge and once again got it spot on. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Highly Recommend Selective Asia

Have been to Asia with Selective Asia twice now, and we can't fault them. We had the most amazing holiday staying in 6 different locations throughout Thailand. Selective Asia did us proud by giving us a well thought out itinerary. The accommodations were first class. Our private guide called James was very knowledgable and made our holiday very memorable.

Personalised and spot on journey

Personalised service all the way up to departure and then throughout via on the ground help and advice in country as well. Ideal.

Our trip to Japan was outstanding

We had had several discussions with Andrew, our agent, before booking the trip and he incorporated all the activities we were interested in plus recommending other activities that he knew we would be interested in. Much of our trip was self guided and SA provide an excellent app to help with this. It was intuitive, easy to use and had the option to be able to contact someone locally if necessary. The whole trip was seamless and managed at a thoroughly professional yet friendly level. I would travel with this company again (we have travelled with them before.)

Heather, Japan

It was amazing from start to finish. Really informative when we were planning the trip, flexible about our itinerary, offering a range of options but all backed with knowledge of the lodges and reserves. The support when we were away was excellent with alternative arrangements made quickly when a flight was cancelled and great advice when our return flight seats were changed. We would absolutely recommend the company, particularly if you are looking for something a little different but special.
