5 Unique Ideas for a Proposal in Sri Lanka
Do you hear the chime of wedding bells in the near future? Is it time to pop the BIG question to your significant other? Before you drop down on one knee, here are 5 unique ideas to take into consideration for your proposal in Sri Lanka that’ll make it hard to say no!
Up, up and away!
Floating amongst the clouds with a fortress in the background is as romantic as it sounds, making it the perfect setting to pop the BIG question. Hot air balloon rides in Sri Lanka, especially in Sigiriya, offer the best views of endless green landscapes and acres of lush fields and forests. The best season for hot air ballooning in the island is from November to May, when the winds are light, and the skies are clear and blue, while the months of March and April are the most ideal.
Sail away
While whale-watching in Mirissa is a must-do experience on its own in Sri Lanka, combine the awe of spotting the world’s largest animal by getting down on one knee. A luxury catamaran cruise coupled with a champagne breakfast creates the perfect setting for your proposal. Gentle seas are the ideal condition for a calm proposal – we wouldn’t want either of you falling due to rough seas, the best season for whale watching in the south is between November to April.
Glide along gentle waters
