Since our childhoods, Hot Air Balloons have always captured our imagination.
Always associated with something exotic & adventurous, riding a hot air balloon is everyone's dream!
After all who can forget hot air balloon scenes from 'Around The World in 80 Days' or 'The Mummy - 2' or 'Up'

Namma Chennai is hosting its first ever - International Balloon Festival (TNIBF 2019) @ Mahindra World City.

Exoticamp in association with 'Tamilnadu International Balloon Festival brings to 'The Balloon Festival Camp'

Get an up-close experience of the festival by going on hot air balloon rides, assisting the crew in inflating these giant beauties & getting them up in the air
(Yes! We have got exclusive access), interact with hot air balloon pilots, touch and feel the balloons & witness them take flight from the close quarters.

What's more!
Get to camp at the festival arena in tents (in a beautiful private park), watch a breathtaking night glow balloon show,
a music concert by Actor / Singer Andrea, standup comic acts by Azhar & co and revel in the festive atmosphere.

The fun doesn't end there.
You could also explore food stalls in the arena, do a bit of stargazing guided by an expert with telescope & go on a leisurely morning bicycle trip around Mahindra World City.

So what are you waiting for! Close your eyes & hop into the basket!

Amazing Experience - by Ashika Rajasekaran for Chennai Balloon Festival Camping .

In the name balloon festival, they are conducting music concert with few familier faces from cini industry.I could see few commercial stalls, 10 rupees games for kids and few food stalls.Worst thing is we have to stand long for 30 min to use rest room. - by Lakshman for Chennai Balloon Festival Camping .

Exoticamp replied on (Sat, 16 Feb)

Dear Lakshman, please do review the right event. Balloon festival was NOT organised by us. We were their camping partners. People who camped with us had exclusive access to the balloon festival, access to neat toilets, flew in hot air balloons and even had an opportunity to be a part of the balloon crew. Please do check the above review for reference. You could also check our google page for more reviews on the balloon camping experience. You could call us at 9790000401 for any clarifications. Thanks.
