Islamabad has taken a major step in promoting tourism and adventure sports with the launch of its first hot air balloon and gliding experiences, introduced by Blue World City. This new initiative provides both residents and visitors with the unique opportunity to enjoy the city from a bird’s-eye perspective, offering panoramic views of Islamabad’s lush green landscapes, the Margalla Hills, and the city’s iconic landmarks.
The hot air balloon rides are designed for those seeking a peaceful and scenic adventure. Passengers can float gently above the city at varying altitudes, capturing stunning views and photographing the city from angles rarely experienced before. The experience emphasizes relaxation and tranquility, making it ideal for families, couples, and photographers.
For thrill-seekers, the gliding adventure offers an adrenaline-pumping experience. Participants can soar through the skies with professional instructors, feeling the rush of wind while maneuvering above the city’s topography. The gliding sessions are equipped with safety harnesses and modern equipment, ensuring both excitement and security for adventurers of all skill levels.
Officials and organizers have highlighted that this project is part of a broader effort to enhance Islamabad’s recreational offerings, attract domestic and international tourists, and promote adventure tourism in Pakistan. The initiative is expected to create new employment opportunities in the tourism sector, including trained pilots, guides, and ground support staff.
Blue World City’s launch of aerial activities also aligns with the capital’s growing reputation as a hub for leisure, eco-tourism, and innovative entertainment, providing residents and visitors with memorable experiences that combine nature, sport, and adventure.
