6. 2 Days Trip to Trincomalee
Trincomalee is a district in Sri Lanka situated 258 km away from Colombo on the east coast. It is the finest natural harbor in the world. This fact led to Trincomalee being captured in turn by the Portuguese, Dutch, French and the British from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Many evidences of these colonial occupations such as Dutch Point, Fort Ostenberg, Dutch Gateway dated 1675; Fort Fredrick and Wellington House where the Iron Duke, then Colonel Wellesley once lodged still remain intact. Another significant historical place is the Hindu Shrine in the 400 ft crag, named “Swami Rock”. The original temple here was of a thousand columns destroyed by the Portuguese in 1622. Monument to Francina Van Rhede, erroneously believed to have leaped from here to her death when her lover sailed away and since called the Lovers Leap. Trincomalee can be proud of its beautifully serrated coastline abounding in sheltered coves and bays.

This was an absolutely exciting excursion we tried in Dambulla in 2017. We were safely taken care of until we landed and were treated with a lovely round of champagne. The ride was totally fun, you could get a really spectacular view of the area to a very large extent. It was really fun to move through the mist and wind. The safety measure were high and the team was well experienced. A team would follow the balloon throughout on a jeep and arrive at the destination to help with the landing.
