Sri Lanka Sky Tower | Ambuluwawa Tower
The full name of Sri Lanka's Ambuluwawa Tower is Ambuluwawa Tower. A white spire built on the top of a mountain, also known as the Sky Tower. This tower is located about 28 kilometers from Kandy, and you will pass by it on your way to Nuwara Eliya from Kandy.
Ambuluwawa Tower is located at an altitude of 3567 feet in Gampola, a magnificent building that is especially elegant and charming. The view of the valleys and mountains around the top and the distant rainbow is mesmerizing. This is the only solitary mountain in the Central Province, not covered by any other mountain ranges. From the top of the mountain, you can overlook a large expanse of lush greenery, the crisscrossing streets of the distant town of Gampola, and vast rice fields.
Ambuluwawa Tower is the main attraction here. When you reach the top, you will see stunning views. If you have a fear of heights, you should still climb up to see the magnificent natural scenery, but a small number of people might get weak in the knees. The spiral staircase is relatively narrow and gets more oppressive as you go up, but the view from the top is truly worth it. Do you dare to challenge it?
Tips: Ambuluwawa Tower requires a 2000 rupee entrance fee, and a round-trip tuk-tuk ride costs 1500 rupees. Of course, you can also choose to walk up the mountain, which is about 3 kilometers.

"Reaching new heights at Ambuluwawa Tower - w
"Ascending Ambuluwawa Tower was a journey of awe and wonder. As I climbed higher, each step unveiled a new vista, a breathtaking panorama of Sri Lanka's verdant landscapes and rich history. From the lush greenery to the ancient ruins below, every moment was a testament to the beauty and resilience of this remarkable island. Standing atop the tower, surrounded by the gentle breeze and panoramic views, I felt a profound sense of peace and gratitude. Ambuluwawa Tower is not just a destination; it's an experience that touches the soul and leaves an indelible mark on the heart. Truly, a must-visit for anyone seeking serenity and inspiration amidst nature's embrace."#instatravel #instatravel #trip #attraction #srilanka

Sri Lanka's Internet Celebrity Tower: Ambuluwawa
Sri Lanka's 🇱🇰 internet celebrity landmark, Ambuluwawa Tower, is located in Gampola, 3 kilometers from the city, and is considered one of the most beautiful towers in Sri Lanka.
Ambuluwawa is Sri Lanka's first multi-religious worship site, with a Buddhist temple, Hindu temple, Muslim mosque, and a Christian church located at the peak of this mountain. People of all religions come here to worship, and this place is a symbol of religious harmony in Sri Lanka.
Amubuluwawa has an average temperature of 21-24 degrees throughout the year, which is cooler compared to the heat of Colombo. As a mountain city, Kandy has a pleasant climate and a beautiful natural environment.
Amubuluwawa was built with a special meaning, with each level representing different crops: fruits, vegetables, and also symbolizing the Sri Lankan people's emphasis on agriculture and their good wishes and desire for a bountiful harvest.
Reaching the top offers a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Gampola, which is a great challenge for those with acrophobia (I am one of them, and it was very difficult to climb to the top with the encouragement and protection of friends). However, it is well worth a visit, as it is a spiritual cleansing experience with exceptionally beautiful scenery.
The first floor of the tower sells handicrafts and souvenirs, and the cafe at the foot of the mountain is highly recommended. The coffee and desserts are very good, and it's also a great place for taking photos and checking in. Remember to bring a jacket or scarf 🧣 when visiting Amubuluwawa. For accommodation, you can choose a boutique hotel at the foot of the mountain or opt to stay in Kandy city (20-30 minutes away).
