Subevent:International ballooning festival "Discover Armenia from the Sky" 2024
Description: It is planned to carry out a flight of about 20 balloons in Yerevan, in the Garni region and from the Aparan reservoir. These places are great places to fly, because of the presence of wind flows in almost any direction.
