Hot Air Ballooning

Hot Air Ballooning

Sri Lanka has many beautiful sights that can become that little bit better. The view from the ground is breathtaking, but the view from above emphasizes and enhances the true beauty of nature. Be ready at 5:30 am and you can venture up into the air on a hot air balloon at 6am in the morning, enjoy a birds-eye view of Kandalama and Dambulla, and get a taste of the cultural triangle. While you’re enjoying the view 1,000 to 2,000 feet above the ground, you might even see herds of wild elephants, flocks of birds, and other land-dwelling animals. We arrange the most reliable professionals in the business; and your pilot, an internationally acclaimed hot air balloon pilot, has had 30 years of flying experience. So, the only thing you need to do is enjoy the view and cherish the moment of tranquility.

Afterwards you will be able to indulge in a delicious glass of champagne that your pilot and crew will provide. The landings are very unique as the pilot will land wherever he pleases is worthy, it could be a paddy field, or in a village, but this unpredictability of where you’re going to land makes the journey that much more intriguing. Afterwards you will be taken to your hotel, transport will already be there, and you can spend the rest of the day visiting Sigiriya and Habarana. The distance between Dambulla (where you land) and Sigiriya is around 17.5 km, which will take around 30 minutes of driving, and from Sigiriya to Habarana is around 15.5 km, which will take around 22 minutes. You will also be able to experience a safari at Minneriya or Kaudulla National Park.

The journey will feel like a cool breeze, a gentle and effortless drift, and you'll have a lifelong memory to appreciate.
