Description complète

Ambuluwawa est la structure la plus etrange du Sri Lanka. C'est une fleche blanche de 48 metres sur une colline au-dessus de Gampola, construite comme un monument multireligieux avec un stupa bouddhiste, un kovil hindou, une mosquee et une eglise sur le meme site, et la tour elle-meme se retrecit en montant, si bien que l'escalier devient une spirale accrochee a l'exterieur du cone.

L'ascension est courte et vraiment alarmante. Les marches se retrecissent jusqu'a environ la largeur d'un pied pres du sommet et la rampe arrive a hauteur de taille sans rien au-dela. Les personnes ayant peur du vide devraient s'arreter a mi-chemin, et il n'y a aucune honte a cela, la vue depuis la moitie merite deja le voyage.

Depuis le sommet, vous pouvez voir la chaine des Knuckles, les collines autour de Kandy et, par temps clair, loin vers le sud dans le pays du the. C'est une vue a 360 degres depuis un point qui se dresse bien au-dessus de tout ce qui l'entoure.

La fabrique de the qui suit est le contrepoids: une usine en activite menant la feuille a travers le fletrissage, le roulage, l'oxydation et la cuisson, se terminant par une degustation. Ensemble, ils constituent une demi-journee plutot qu'une journee complete, ce qui est utile pour un jour ou vous voulez aussi du temps a Kandy meme.

Kandy fut la derniere capitale des rois cinghalais, resistant aux Portugais et aux Hollandais jusqu'a ce que les Britanniques la prennent en 1815, et le Temple de la Sainte Dent Relique sur le lac explique son importance: la relique, consideree comme une dent du Bouddha, est l'objet le plus sacre de l'ile et sa garde legitimait autrefois la royaute. La chambre de la relique ouvre pour le puja trois fois par jour, vers 5h30, 9h30 et 18h30, quand les tambours commencent et que la file avance devant le reliquaire. La tenue couvre epaules et genoux, les chaussures se retirent a l'entree, et l'Esala Perahera en juillet ou aout fait parader le reliquaire sur un elephant a travers la ville pendant dix nuits.

Our Guide(s) (one was a Trainee) we're very nice. they explained a lot of Things and the car was very comfortable and had got A/C. At Ambuluwawa we took a Tuk Tuk to the top. After the tower we headed to the tea factory which was also a nice experience. They would've drive with us to the other places as well, but it was enough for us. They even dropped us off at a good restaurant (because we wanted lunch) and would have even driven us back to the hotel afterwards. This was not needed from our side. All together a very nice experience and worth the money.

Questions fréquentes

Hotel pickup in Kandy; the exact address and time are confirmed after booking.
The price does not cover the ambuluwawa entrance fee, meals and drinks, tea purchases, gratuities.. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Unless the option says private, this runs as a small group. The operator caps it rather than filling a coach, and if you want it to yourselves the private option is priced separately on this page.
Ranweli Tours. We book with them directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can confirm your place with the operator before taking it as final.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice outside India. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Many hold government-issued tourism licenses, university degrees in history or cultural studies, and have years of experience leading tours for international travelers. Every guide maintains a minimum 4.5-star rating to remain active on our platform.
Time it for a puja — 5.30am, 9.30am or 6.30pm. Those are the only windows when the upper relic chamber opens and the hevisi drummers play; outside them you are visiting a beautiful building rather than a ceremony. Take socks: shoes come off at the gate and the stone courtyard gets painfully hot. Full detail in our Temple of the Tooth guide.
February for the clearest weather, or July-August, which is drier here than most people expect and covers the Esala Perahera. Kandy sits between Sri Lanka's *two* monsoons and catches some of both, so it has no long dry season — but it also never has a season that is a write-off. See best time to visit Kandy.
Reserved seats open 30 days ahead and sell out within hours from December to March. Unreserved 2nd/3rd class is sold on the day and always available — you will stand, which is where the open doorways and the famous photographs are. Sit on the right-hand side going south. Note there is no Nuwara Eliya station; the stop is Nanu Oya, 10 km away. See our Kandy to Ella train guide.
July or August — but the dates move every year with the lunar calendar, so any guide naming a fixed week is guessing. It runs ten nights and ends on the Nikini poya. Book accommodation on the route six to twelve months ahead. Details in our Esala Perahera guide.
Sigiriya and Dambulla (2.5 hrs each way) is the best of them. Kitulgala rafting is 2 hrs, the Knuckles range and Pekoe Trail stages are day hikes from here. Ella, Galle and Yala are *too far* — 4-6 hours each way. See day trips from Kandy.
Two nights. One full day for the town — Bahirawakanda, Peradeniya gardens, the lake and the evening puja — and a second for a hike, a village day or the cultural triangle. Our Kandy 2-day itinerary lays it out hour by hour.
The centre and the lake circuit are walkable. For anything up a hill or out of town, take a tuk-tuk — roughly LKR 100-150/km on the meter, and ride-hailing apps price it automatically with no negotiation. See getting around Kandy.
