Chief Pilot, Transport, Toast of Champagne & Juice

This experience is peaceful yet exhilarating, perfect for couples, groups, or solo adventurers. The flight floats between 1,000 and 2,000 feet above the Cultural Triangle, guided by the Chief Pilot through varying wind currents. As the balloon gently ascends, the breathtaking sunrise over Kandalama Tank unfolds, painting the landscape in vibrant colors. From the Golden Buddha to distant Sigiriya, lush forests, and waking wildlife, the view is truly mesmerizing. Below, villagers wave and children eagerly follow the landing site. Ballooning becomes a harmonious dance with the wind, creating an unforgettable journey.

Good to Know

The journey promises an element of surprise, with the flight path remaining unknown, adding an exciting and exploratory aspect to the adventure.

We recommend starting at 5.00 a.m. from the Hotel.

The launch site may be changed by the Chief Pilot according to the wind direction for a safe and enjoyable flight.

The flight is contingent upon prevailing weather conditions in the region.

The activity is conducted during winter the months are November to April.
