The unique landscapes of Sigiriya and the cultural triangle are best viewed by Hot Air Balloon, often called one of the most romantic experiences in Sigiriya for honeymooners. Sigiriya by Hot Air Balloon gives couples a unique opportunity, being the only location in Sri Lanka that offers hot air ballooning. Explore by air and glide 500-2,000 feet over the cultural and natural landscapes of the cultural triangle.
Voted one of the best ways to experience the landscape, the balloon ride glides gently over wildlife parks, lakes, iconic temples, serene villages, and the Sigiriya Fortress.
Sigiriya and surrounding areas are unique because they are the only areas of the island where hot air ballooning takes place. It is an experience to witness landscapes and often is a unique way to say the magical “I do,” with operators offering options for couples to take their wedding vows hundreds of feet in the air.
The expert pilots glide the balloon between 500 -2,000 feet above the ground as the wind and other cloud conditions dictate. An art of skill, knowledge, and instinct is part of the whole ballooning experience, and part of the allure is that you have no pre-determined route or landing area!
Enjoy scenes of shimmering lakes and fisherman taking off on their boats, witness elephants roaming the jungles, monkeys swinging on branches, the morning splendour of Sigiriya Rock Fortress bathed in the first rays of the sun and local village life unfolding. Usually lasting an hour of flight time, prepare to land as the pilot chooses a suitable location for the descent back to earth.
Tip: Hot Air Balloon season runs from November to May, with March and April being the best seasons for clear skies and good ballooning weather.
