About this experience

Steigen Sie in Ihrem Ballonkorb in der Dunkelheit vor Sonnenaufgang in der Nähe von Sigiriya zwischen 4:45 Uhr und 6:00 Uhr ein, wenn der Horizont zu leuchten beginnt. Lakpura organisiert die Abholung vom Hotel aus nahegelegenen Städten und bringt Sie rechtzeitig zum Startplatz für die Befüllung. Tragen Sie geschlossene Schuhe, eine Mütze und bequeme Freizeitkleidung – ein leichter Pullover ist für die kühle Luft in der Höhe empfehlenswert.

Sobald Sie in der Luft sind, führt Ihr Pilot den Ballon etwa eine bis anderthalb Stunden lang über die Gebiete Kandalana und Dambulla, je nach Windrichtung. Beobachten Sie den Sonnenaufgang über die Landschaft und erkennen Sie Wahrzeichen, die Ihr Pilot anweist: den Kandalama Tank, die goldene Buddhafigur und die Felsenstadt Sigiriya in der Ferne. Hotelabholung, Rückbringung und alle Steuern sind inbegriffen; Speisen, Getränke und Trinkgelder sind es nicht. Der Flug unterliegt den Wetterbedingungen.

Day-by-day itinerary

1 Belihuloya

Day 1 — Private Guided Hike Through Non Pareil

You will be starting your hike from Belihuloya at 7:30am. After a short presentation on the hike and safety procedures by your hiking guide, you will be leaving the starting point at 7:45am. Your 14km hike will be taking you along the Non Pareil Road to the Non Pareil Tea Estate. The estate lies at the border of World’s End, which is a popular tourist destination.

You will have breaks every 1.5 km for refreshments such as energy bars. Your hiking guide will be showing you the best sights along the way. Belihuloya is a very bio diverse region, so you may see some rare wildlife as well. You will be reaching the Nagrak estate division by 1pm.

Nagrak lies at the base of the World’s End cliff and though it may not have the panoramas of the top of the cliff, it still has some amazing views of the distant surroundings. You can catch sight of the mountain ranges Galagama, Ihala Galagama and Silogama, as well as the distant southern regions of Sri Lanka. You can see some far away reservoirs and landmarks such as the Tissamaharama Dagoba. In addition to these views, you will be having a look at the Nagrak estate with its old British era bungalow.

Later you will be having lunch in the shadow of ‘World’s End’. You won’t be climbing it as the fog and weather conditions can make it treacherous on foot. After an enjoyable lunch surrounded by nature, you will be taking the same trail back to Belihuloya.

On the way back, you will be stopping for evening refreshments and an additional photographic session. You will get back to the trail head where you started by 5pm, completing the hike.
