A hot-air balloon ride!

That’s right. Sure, you might have done it in other parts of the world, but for the first time in India, MakeMyTrip, in association with SkyWaltz, brings you the unique opportunity to fly across the rugged terrains of Rajasthan on a hot air balloon! Sounds magical? You bet it is!

The Experience

Sure, you’ve seen the Amer Fort, but, trust me, it’s a whole new experience when you’re seeing a bird’s eye view of this majestic fort with its carefully constructed maze of walls and gardens. Plus, you’ll appreciate Jaipur like never before on this 60-minute ride, flying over the rough, desert terrain that nestles this beautiful city. What’s more, at the end of your ride, you’ll get a First Flight Certificate to keep and treasure (read: brag to friends).

Please note, it’s not advisable for you to fly if you’ve had a recent surgery, have chronic back problems, are pregnant or under 5 years old.
