Adventure
Hot Air Balloon Flight near Sigiriya
Few experiences beat floating over the forests and tanks of the cultural triangle at sunrise, with Sigiriya rock and the plains spread out below. Flights go up at dawn, when the air is smoothest.
We arrange the transfer from your hotel in the dark and collect you after the landing. The balloon is booked with the operator, and your trip is weather dependent.
Highlights
- Sunrise flight over forest, lakes and the rock fortress
- Hotel transfer in the early morning
- Gentle landing and a celebration on the ground
- Pairs well with a Sigiriya or Dambulla stay
