Hot Air Ballooning

A Surreal and Tranquil Sensation Above Sri Lanka

A hot air balloon is a lighter-than-air aircraft consisting of a bag called an envelope which contains heated air. Suspended beneath is a gondola or wicker basket which carries passengers and a source of heat, in most cases an open flame caused by burning liquid propane. Balloons that travel with the wind make for one of the most surreal and tranquil sensations of flight.
