Hop on to a hot air balloon this weekend for a tour of west coast

Got an adventurous spirit? Hop on to a hot air balloon and get a bird's eye view of the west coast of India. The first such flight here is happening on March 4.
Mangalurean-promoted Deccan Airsports aims to kickstart a new age in aviation in India by empowering and facilitating flying experience to all. Sheik Abdul Malik, an aerospace engineer with a Master's degree from the University of Bristol, England, is the CEO and founder of Airsports, who wants to bring in all airsport activities under one umbrella and to international standards. These include hot air balloons, gliders, sky diving, drones and para-motoring.
The company wants to create a platform to provide people an opportunity to experience the "sky and beyond". In this direction, they have organized a 12-day launch tour in four major cities in three states -- Mangaluru and Bengaluru in Karnataka, Kochi in Kerala, and Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu. The test run on a tethered flight will allow investors a look into the viability of the project, public -- the experience and company - case studies, the logistics and wherewithal to prepare the roadmap for the project.
A lucky few will enjoy the panoramic view from a height of 400ft or 500ft.
