Treat yourself with a hot air balloon ride over the beautiful Dambulla area(CultureCulture Tringle ). Enjoy the breathtaking views as the earth unfolds its beauty with the rising sun over the Cultural Triangle in Sri Lanka. Watch your pilot gradually lower the balloon to inches above the evergreen trees as you pick leaves or touch the treetops, spot a bird or an animal waking to the daybreak.
Flights take off at sunrise and floating at heights of 500 to 2000 feet on average, this feeling of peace and tranquility is apparent from the extent of sighs and smiles as the earth seems to slowly descend below you whilst the views rapidly expand. While you effortlessly drift over the treetops, wildlife, lakes and rivers, cultural sites, local urban homesteads, landmarks like Sigiriya Rock, Golden Buddha and many more are in the view and invite you to experience it.
