At Timeless Heritage Tours, we offer exclusive hot air balloon rides in Sri Lanka, providing a rare and exhilarating perspective of this beautiful island. Early morning flights, typically starting around 5:30 AM, take advantage of the calm winds to provide a tranquil and magical experience, complete with stunning sunrise views over the island’s diverse landscapes. The best time for these adventures is from November to May, when weather conditions are ideal.

Floating gently above the landscape, you’ll capture a bird’s-eye view of Sri Lanka’s iconic landmarks such as the Golden Buddha statue at the Dambulla temple complex, the majestic Sigiriya Rock Fortress, and the verdant greenery surrounding Kandalama and Dambulla. Popular locations for hot air ballooning include Sigiriya, Dambulla, Kandalama, and Habarana. Each ride lasts approximately 1 to 1.5 hours, providing ample time to soak in the beauty of lush jungles, serene lakes, and ancient ruins. From your elevated vantage point, you may also spot wildlife such as elephants and monkeys.

At Timeless Heritage Tours, we collaborate with the region’s top balloon ride providers to guarantee a premium experience, prioritizing your safety and comfort. Before the flight, guests can enjoy a light breakfast while watching the mesmerizing inflation of the balloons. The entire experience, including pre-flight preparations and post-flight celebrations, spans around 3 to 4 hours. As you ascend, the flight ranges from tree-top height to several thousand feet, giving you both intimate views of the scenery and sweeping panoramic vistas.
