Alaska is the largest and least densely populated in the United States of America. With vast areas of land and lesser people, most of the areas here look like villages. This is the most suitable place if you want to spend your holidays in a calm and quite atmosphere. Even the cities like Anchorage and Fairbank are not as crowded as other cities in US. Still these cities can offer you all the modern facilities available in other cities. We have decided to spend the last summer there and started searching for inexpensive flight tickets. In our city there are many travel agents who are dealing in flight tickets. I have approached almost everybody to get best fares. Though it was a busy season, we were lucky enough to get seats in one of the cheap flights to Alaska.
When we reached the airport a person from the hotel that has been booked in advance was there to receive us. It was winter and the climate was too cool. As we had enough winter clothes with us we did not have to suffer much. On the way to our hotel we have seen the empty roads covered with snow. After reaching the hotel we have decided about the tour plan and we have started our trip the next day itself.
As mentioned earlier the interior Alaska was just like a huge village with hardly any habitats. Fairbanks city is the only habitat in this region. The calm and cool atmosphere was quite capable of arouse the romantic feelings of even the most arrogant persons. The volcanoes in the Aleutian Islands were another attraction. Some are even live now. The travel through these islands was really an unforgettable experience.
However the most interesting part of our tour was that we could participate in various winter festivals and carnivals here. Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is one such festival and we have seen a lot of foreigners also participating in this race. Most of the visitors are visiting Alaska during this season and almost all major airlines will operate additional flights to Alaska during this season. This usually starts and Anchorage and ends in Nome. World’s Ice Art Championship which is being held in Fairbanks is another interesting winter event which attracts a lot of people. We went to the venue where this championship is being held. The different structures made with ice really displayed the talent of the artists. Some models and structures made in ice were incredible. As all airlines are offering cheap tickets to Alaska during this championship, the crowd was too much. Still the organizers had made all arrangement for conducting the event without any troubles.
Later on we came to know that there are more events in Alaska that attracts people from all over the world. Alaska Hummingbird Festival and whale Festival are some among them. The festivals and the village atmosphere were really thrilling and it worked a lot to keep us warm during the winter.
