In Pictures: The Experience That Was The Bacardi Enchanted Valley Carnival

Camping under the stars, late-night bonfires, brilliant electronic acts and just general fun and revelry was everything we expected from the Bacardi Enchanted Valley Carnival 2015. And it delivered.

India’s “premier camping festival” just happened this weekend at Aamby Valley, and it was pretty damn amazing. There was camping in the pristine valley, with sunny days and chilly nights, an activity zone, food and drink that was available till the wee hours of the morning, and of course – the music. With large, futuristic stages, the festival hosted acts like Fatboy Slim, Tiesto, Oliver Heldens and Ferry Corsten!

Here are some pictures from the event that’ll definitely make you wish you’d been there:
