- This picturesque location in Pollachi witnessed the eighth edition of the three-day Tamil Nadu International Balloon Festival.
The carnival showcased hot-air balloons from across the globe.
As many as 12 hot air balloons from Brazil, Thailand, Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, France, Vietnam, Spain, the U.S. and the U.K. participated in the festival.
The balloons were parked at Right Kongu City, Achipatti on Pollachi Main Road.
It’s also more than just a balloon festival, with a kids carnival and music festival included
The open spaces in Pollachi, a 45-minute from Coimbatore, makes it a favourable location
What’s a hot-air balloon ride like?
The wicker basket, that is attached to the hot-air balloon, is powered by a blast of flame from its propane burner
These colourful travel balloons at festivals can accommodate a maximum of two passengers on board.
The passenger safari rides can take up to eight passengers.
A hot-air balloon is similar to an aircraft .
It is made by companies that manufacture aircrafts, with the permission of the civil aviation authority.
Airport and ATC clearances are mandatory.
And the location has to be 40 kilometres away from the airport.
Similar to an aircraft, there is a tail number to every balloon, and the pilots are basically aircraft pilots.
Pilots say that flying needs the right weather conditions, backed by a professional on-ground team.
The fest also plans to educate the public on how a hot air balloon works as an entertainment option with limitations.

Fully cheating. Don't plan this festival. Video is only for advertisement. Actually not done. Just up and down only 50 feet for Rs.1600/ per head. Totally our money waste.
