INDIA UPDATES

A quick roundup of what’s happening around the country as you prepare your itinerary.

The blue-grey skies of the Araku Valley—a verdant vale that falls a little ahead of Visakhapatnam, will once again turn into a riot of colours as many flamboyant hot air balloons will be left in the air to soar high this January. The second edition of Araku Balloon Festival is all set to leave you spellbound with its luxury camps pitched in the wild, para-motoring stunts on display, exclusive excursions to nearby tribal villages, and of course, hot air balloons ready to paint the skyline while they glide over fields of coffee and niger flowers.

When January 18-20

Where Araku village, Andhra Pradesh

Why you should go Because there’s no better way to explore a lush valley than to slowly float over it in the air.
