If you’re arriving by public transport, make sure you reach Gampola city first.
From Gampola, it’s just a quick 20-minute Tuk Tuk ride to cover the 5.6 kilometers (3.5 miles) to the entrance gates of Ambuluwawa Tower where you can buy your tickets.
The entrance fee to Ambuluwawa Temple is 2000 LKR (6 USD) for foreign adults and 1000 LKR (3 USD) for children. Please note that you can’t pay for the entrance ticket by bank card, so ensure you have enough local currency.
Once you have obtained the tickets, there are tuk-tuks available to take you to the Ambuluwawa Tower.
