Frequently asked questions

1. Is Hot Air Balloon ride operated all year round?

Hot Air Ballooning in Sri Lanka is a seasonal activity and very much weather-dependent usually in the season between November and April when there are still calm winds. In case your trip does not fall within this time or in the case of poor weather conditions, the activity can be cancelled or replaced by another experience. We would suggest that you make these early reservations.

2. Is the Hot Air Balloon ticket in the package( ₹38,649)?

In order to maintain the entry price affordable, the expensive activities such as Hot Air Balloon ride (quite expensive compared to the normal entrance fees) are usually not part of the base rate. It is typically an after sales option. The latest "Flight + Activity" bundle rates would be available with our agents.

3. Is it difficult to hike to Gartmore Falls?

The walk to Gartmore Falls (and the Infinity Pool) is regarded as a relatively difficult one. It entails strolling around tea estates and a rough terrain. One does not have to be an expert hiker, but he/she must be moderately fit and have good gripping footwear.

4. Is it possible to bathe the elephants at Pinnawala?

There are a certain schedules at Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage detailing when to feed and bath the elephants in the river. Although you may observe the herd taking a bath in the Ma Oya river (which is an awesome experience!), you can only have close contact with the animals such as bathing them only when it is safe and the welfare of the animals is considered. You can attend certain times of feeding the fruit.

5. Is this trip suitable for children?

Yes, but with caution. Teens and adults are fond of the elephant orphanage and waterfalls. Nonetheless, the Hot Air Balloon can be restricted in terms of age (mostly over 7 years old) and height (frequently) and the walk to Gartmore Falls could be exhausting to very young toddlers. We are able to adapt the speed at family-friendly rates.
