Are you looking to enjoy a ride in hot air balloons? - By: Pavitra Khanna

Enjoying a flight in the air has been leisure or one should say a fantasy for human beings since times immemorial. It has been portrayed in many ancient paintings and scriptures. Leonardo Da Vinci once designed a painting that resembled a modern day helicopter and later in the twentieth century Wright brothers converted his design into a full fledged flying machine. However this was the extreme aspect of the story of ‘giving wings to humanity’. In an intermediate stage of this civilization man had developed the ability to stay aerial for some time by fueling gases into rubber made bladders. This was more of a luxury for sometime.

Later this fantasy became an outdated technology when people started using airplanes as a day to day medium of transport. However flying in the air is still a very big fantasy for anyone no matter how big an adventure geek he is.
