Next March, Putrajaya will once again host a fiesta like no other in the country. The thriving government capital will be converted to a major tourist and visitor attraction site over a four-day period from 27 – 30 March 2014. An event that is not to be missed, 2014’s fiesta is the sixth installment of the internationally recognized hot air balloon fiesta, featuring the attendance of more than 20 hot air balloons all over the world, including at least five special shaped hot air balloons.
Admission is free so all are welcome to experience a fresh view of the skies by going on the tethered hot air balloon rides or coast the stunning Putrajaya skyline in a helicopter joy ride. For those who search for a bit of adventure, the Mountain Dew Extreme Zone boasts an array of outdoor fun including water zorbing and rock climbing. Food and beverage outlets aplenty, be sure to grab a meal at KFC outlets at the fiesta and remember to keep yourself hydrated.
