From Kandy To Ambuluwawa Tower Private Tuk Tuk Tour

Ambuluwawa Tower is situated in the outskirts of Gampola Town, Sri Lanka, and has gained increased popularity in recent times, mainly attributed to the breathtaking views it offers from its summit. Climbing to the top of the Ambuluwawa Tower is known for the challenging experience, particularly due to its narrow spiral staircase, which some visitors find demanding. It stands out as one of the most adventurous places to explore in Sri Lanka. Ambuluwawa Mountain reaches a peak height of 3567 feet above sea level, positioned more than 1000 feet above Gampola Town. The tower sits atop this mountain peak, enjoying a unique and undisturbed view from a considerable distance, given the absence of other mountains in the vicinity. Notably, the Ambuluwawa Tower is visible from Gampola Train Station. The cone-shaped tower, standing at 48 meters tall, serves as the home for the Stupa (Pagoda) of the Buddhist Temple. As you ascend, the tower provides several viewing platforms for visitors to appreciate the stunning panoramic views. The spiral staircase becomes progressively narrower, posing a challenge for those uncomfortable with heights. The Ambuluwawa Biodiversity Complex, inaugurated in 2009, is the first of its kind in Sri Lanka and is recognized as the fourth botanical garden in the country. This complex is a haven for diverse plant species and serves as a multi-religious center where followers of various faiths practiced in Sri Lanka come to worship. It encompasses a Buddhist Temple, Hindu Temple, a Church, and a Mosque, emphasizing unity and diversity in religious practices.
