Sigiriya, Dambulla, & Habarana are the areas where Hot Air Ballooning is conducted as the winds are good enough in the area of the almost flat plains of the island with constant blowing. The wind enables the balloon to stay up in the air and move sufficiently with the wind. It’s an enjoyable ride, to ‘oversee’ the forest plains, rocky hills, pretty glittering lakes & estuaries with amazing real time panoramic views in motion. However, the only drawback is that Hot Air Ballooning depends on the winds and its direction.

So it is essentially seasonal and depends heavily on the moods of the Local Weather, the Supernatural, Solar Flares, Global Weather & Neutrinos passing through the planet. The adventurers who do this exercise are testing places like Ella, Tissa & Hambantota as potential locations in order to enable this ‘bird’s eye’ sightseeing in the future. It’s far more economical than boarding into a helicopter, which is an alternative if the winds aren’t going to materialize here or other destinations. If the winds are prevalent, Go for it !.
