🧳 WHAT TO EXPERIENCE
Far from city lights, vast open spaces in remote desert lands create some of the world’s most enviable dark skies, making Alula an idyllic locale for star watching. ✨✨

There is no other way to truly take in AlUla in all its glory than with a sunrise hot air balloon flight. The diverse colours and vistas of the tethered and untethered flights will make for beautiful photographs and unforgettable memories. 🌄🌄

One question we get asked a lot:
“Is travelling to Europe in Winters a good idea?”

So, we thought let’s answer this question at once for everyone.
YES, it absolutely is!

Let us tell you why:
Because Winter travel is very different from summer travel, even to the same country. The landscape looks different, the festive season comes alive, the food changes, the clothes become cosier and fluffier.
The crowd filled streets of the summer make way for the more misty festive cobbleways laced with pop-up shops and festive treats. There is a nip in the air with that mesemrizing mulled wine aroma and whiffs of roasting chestnuts - basically the whole vibe is just different. 🎄🧑‍🎄

And perhaps this is the only time, when you get to try the winter sports of snow like skiing, sledging, sliding and more. The things that are sometimes hard to come by in the summery comfort of your own city. ⛄️🏂

Though, you have to carry heavier suitcases brimming with the furry winter clothes, we say, it’s an experience that’s every but worth it.❄️🧣

So, what are you waiting for?! Slide into our DMs and start planning your winter getaway now.💌💌

And if you like tralling in winter just like us, tell us about your favourite winter destination in the comments.✏️

7 Countries for that Winter Experience even in Summer (May-July)

1. FINLAND
With a temperature range around 5-20 degrees, Finland can feel pleasant to cool all within a single day. And this is great to experience the destination as everything literally comes alive in the Land of the Midnight Sun.

2. ICELAND
Just like its stunning landscape, the weather in Iceland keeps changing within the same day. But still with a nip in the air or a gush of cool breeze (err..wind). Here you can experience whale watching, snorkeling, scuba diving, lava caving, glacier hiking and much more in this season.

3. CANADA
Thankfully it's not the parka & woollen season, but you'll still need your light jackets and fleeces. This weather is ideal for hiking, bird watching, landscape viewing, canoeing, kayanking, midnight sun chasing, wildlife viewing & all things tourist(ing).

4. NEW ZEALAND
The winter months bring snow to mountain peaks around the country, and clear, crisp days. In the North Island, you might encounter more rain, while the South Island is colder but drier. Hit the ski slopes, visit a winery or two
or head along to one of the many winter festivals.

5. GREENLAND
'When you've seen the world there's always Greenland'. The best time to visit is between June and August, with plenty of options for expedition cruising. These months mark 24-hour sunshine and temperatures above freezing, setting the ideal stage for wildlife viewing and small ship cruises.

6. ALASKA
Enjoy flowers bloom, gushing rivers, the best wildlife season and the famous Alaskan cruise lines - all within the comfortable temperatures of 15-20 degrees.

7. MONGOLIA
Even in its warmest months, the temperature here ranges from 8-28 degrees, with the month of May even seeing some occasional snowfall. The highlight of June is the Roaring Hooves festival where folk and modern music echo the sounds of horse hooves and horses.
