Forest minister Vijay Shah confirms India’s hot air balloon wildlife safari in the world-famous Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve by Madhya Pradesh. It was launched on Friday.
Shah said the activity would be restricted to the buffer area, and people can watch tigers, leopards, Indian sloth bears, and other wild animals from a height.
Vijay Shah added, “One more adventure has been added for tourists coming to Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve with the launch of the hot air balloon wildlife safari. It is the first in any tiger reserve in the country. Now like Africa’s forests, tourists in India will also enjoy hot air balloon wildlife safari”,
He said the state was planning to introduce this service in Pench, Kanha, and Panna tiger reserves.
Jaipur-based Sky Waltz is operating the service, and company official Jai Thakur said it was hoping for a good response from tourists.
