The stage is set for the extravagant Araku Balloon Festival

The wait has finally come to an end as the stage is ready for one of the most spectacular shows we are about to witness. Araku Balloon Festival, which is being organised by E-Factor, is all set to be flagged off on a grand scale in the green valleys of the Eastern Ghats. A total of 13 teams, hailing from 11 countries, are all geared up to leave you awestruck with their magnificent displays of some arresting visuals. Apart from the astonishing sights of massive hot air balloons sailing across the blue skies amidst the lush green valleys, other activities such as paramotoring displays are bound to thrill the adrenaline junkies.

A press event was organised on Sunday to officially launch the event. Visakhapatnam district collector, Mr. Pravin Kumar, HRD minister, Mr. Ganta Srinivasa Rao, Director of E-Factor,  Mr. Samit Garg, and several hot air balloon pilots were present at this event.
