There are many ways to see and explore a country or region and one of the best is from the air. The hot air balloon rides in Sri Lanka are not so much balloon rides of Sri lanka itself, but rather the archeological attractions around the heritage-metropolis of the villages. It is very surreal to bob around in the crisp morning sky in a basket dangling from a balloon while looking down at the ruins of a civilization that lived thousands of years ago.

The climate in Dambulla – Kandalama is exceptional for flying balloons, due to its extremely calm and predictable nature.

Balloon Rides generally take place in the early morning (because the weather is more stable), and the average distance we cover, in accordance with the wind speed and direction, is anywhere from one to ten miles. The height at which we fly will vary from tree top level – where we enjoy contour flying at low level to several thousand feet up: the perfect vantage point to observe the majesty of Dambulla – Kandalama area.
