The height at which we fly will range from tree top level – where we enjoy low level contour flying – to several thousand feet up: the ideal
vantage point to admire the magnificence of the Dambulla – Kandalama area.

Cycling holidays generally follow a point-to-point route from Sigiriya in the north, through the high tea country around Kandy and Ella, and then down to the coast around Galle.
