What is the best way to get to Ambuluwawa Tower from the coast of Sri Lanka?

Getting to Ambuluwawa Tower from the coast of Sri Lanka in one day is practically impossible. Distances from popular resorts are: from Hikkaduwa – 200 km, from Unawatuna – 220 km, from Negombo – 120 km.

Optimal options:

• With an overnight stay in Kandy – the most reasonable option. Kandy is the cultural capital with many attractions
• With an excursion – you can purchase one-day group excursions from the coast, which include the tower and other attractions in Kandy
• With rented transport with a driver – convenient, but expensive

We do not recommend:

• Trying to get there by public transport in one day – it is very difficult
• Going on a rented motorbike – the road is dangerous and tiring
• Driving yourself without experience – left-hand traffic and mountain roads

You can book excursions on these trusted sites that we use ourselves: Trip.com, Sputnik8.com, Tripster.ru, GetYourGuide.
