Overview
Ambuluwawa Tower, located near Gampola, offers one of the most thrilling panoramic views in Sri Lanka. The tower stands on a mountaintop and spirals upward in a narrow, winding path that’s not for the faint of heart.
As you climb, the view becomes more dramatic. Misty hills, green valleys, and distant peaks stretch in every direction. On a clear day, you can see Adam’s Peak, the Knuckles Range, and beyond.
Ambuluwawa is not just about views. It’s also a symbol of religious harmony, with a temple, church, mosque, and kovil all in one complex. The peaceful setting blends nature, adventure, and spirituality in one unforgettable spot.
It’s best to visit early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid strong sun and crowds.
