Hot Air Balloon Rides in Dambulla – Soar Above Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle 🎈✨
Looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure? From November to May, experience the magic of Sri Lanka from the skies with our exclusive hot air balloon rides in Dambulla.
Your journey begins with an early morning pick-up from Sigiriya or Habarana, followed by a 6:15 AM take-off from Kandalama—the heart of the Cultural Triangle. As the balloon rises 1,000–2,000 feet, you’ll glide over emerald rice fields, misty forests, shimmering lakes, and timeless landscapes for up to 3.5 unforgettable hours.
From above, admire breathtaking views of Sigiriya Rock Fortress, Pidurangala Rock, and the Dambulla Cave Temple, all bathed in the golden glow of sunrise.
This isn’t just a ride—it’s an unforgettable experience of wonder and serenity. Whether you’re celebrating a special moment or seeking pure adventure, this is one of the most magical things to do in Sri Lanka.
