The tower is very busy. We climbed, or rather got there, by tuk tuk. 1,500 rupees non-negotiable. Entry fee per person 2,000 rupees. But it's worth it just for the view. I'm not sure if the monkeys weren't more important to my niece than the tower? 😊
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback !
The driver was friendly and helpful with taking photos for us. The tower was absolutely worth seeing but if you're uncomfortable with heights, it might be a good idea to give it a miss as the path up the tower gets thinner as you go up so passing people and children going the other way is "interesting".
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback ! See you next time. Have a great time ahead 🙏
We had a great time going to Ambuluwawa tower. Our tour guide Pali was amazing. He picked us up from our hotel and took us to the tower by tuk tuk which was a great experience in itself! He was eager to point out the sights to us and stop if we wished. The view from the tower is incredible and I would definitely recommend it. If you are afraid of heights the view from inside is still amazing even if you choose not to climb the full height. A word of warning though, if you choose to climb the tower it is not forgiving if you are larger in size. It gets incredible narrow in some places.
Thank you very much for the recommendation. ❤️
