Where is the white tower in Sri Lanka and how much does it cost to enter?

The famous white tower in Sri Lanka is the Ambuluwawa Tower, located in the central mountain province of the island near the city of Gampola. The distance from the cultural capital Kandy is only 25 kilometers, making it a popular stop on excursion routes.

The exact location of the tower can be viewed on the map: Ambuluwawa on the map of Sri Lanka. The tower is situated on the summit of the eponymous mountain at an altitude of 1086 meters above sea level.

The cost of visiting for foreigners in 2025 was 2750 rupees (about 695 rubles), for children — 1500 rupees. Additionally, transportation costs should be considered: a tuk-tuk from the ticket office to the tower itself will cost 1500 rupees round trip, as from the entrance to the reserve to the tower there is still 2.5 kilometers with a significant ascent.

The easiest way to get to the white tower is from Kandy: by tuk-tuk (40-60 minutes, from 2000 rupees) or by bus to Gampola with a subsequent transfer to a tuk-tuk directly to the tower. From other cities, the journey will be more complicated and longer.
