How to get to Ambuluwawa Tower from Kandy?

You can reach Ambuluwawa Tower from Kandy in several ways. The distance is 25 kilometers, travel time is 40-60 minutes.

Most popular options:

• By tuk-tuk or taxi – the fastest way. A tuk-tuk costs from 2000 rupees, a car from 3300 rupees. You can order through apps like Uber, PickMe, or find one on the street. We recommend a tuk-tuk – it navigates through traffic faster.
• By bus – the most budget-friendly option. Go to Kandy bus station and ask for a bus to Gampola. There are many buses, including those with transfers via Peradeniya. Travel time is 1-1.5 hours.
• By train – a scenic route. You can check the schedule on the official Sri Lanka Railways website.
• By rented transport – 30 kilometers, 40-60 minutes. Note that there can be traffic jams in central Kandy during morning hours.

After arriving in Gampola, you will need to take a taxi or tuk-tuk to the tower itself (5 km, 5-10 minutes). Be sure to arrange to be taken to the tower or intermediate parking, not just to the ticket counters at the entrance.
