Is it worth visiting the Ambuluwawa Tower in Sri Lanka?

Yes, visiting the Ambuluwawa Tower is definitely worth it, at least for the stunning 360-degree panoramic views. From a height of 48 meters, breathtaking views of the mountain landscapes of central Sri Lanka open up.

Pros of visiting:

• Incredible panoramic views from a height of 1086 meters above sea level
• Unique architecture of the tower with an unusual spiral staircase
• Great opportunities for photography
• Location within a biosphere reserve with rich nature

Cons:

• Strong commercialization – it feels like a tourist attraction for profit
• High prices for foreigners
• It is not an authentic historical or spiritual landmark
• The stairs on the upper tiers are very narrow, making it difficult for larger people to climb

Don't forget to climb the neighboring smaller tower – it's from there that the best photos of the main tower against the landscapes are taken.
