To reach this place, you have to follow the Gampola Hemmathagama road. If you are traveling by bus, you will reach the main entrance to Ambuluwawa, about 5 km away along the Gampola-Hemmatagama road. From there you have to walk for about 2 km to the top of the mountain. If you are traveling in your own vehicle, you can drive to the top of the mountain. You have to buy a ticket to go to the top of the mountain.

Ambuluwawa is a beautiful ecosystem with an area of ​​927 acres. It has a high biodiversity with a large number of animals and plants. There are many invertebrate animals here. It is said that there are many species of insects and beetles and 20 species of butterflies. There are about 43 species of reptiles, 23 of which are endemic to our country. There are 24 species of snakes in the ecosystem, from small canoe to large snake. There are about 90 species of birds.

The eastern side of the mountain consists of a rock and the other side is a forest ecosystem. The mountain top is 3567 feet above sea level. Development of the mountain began in 1997 and in 2002 it became the world's best developed mountain. It was opened to the public on September 18, 2007. The Agrarian Stupa at the top of the hill is considered to be a religious place. This Stupa which is shaped like a paddy field is representing the farming community. The tower is 400 feet in height. There is a Buddha statue inside the temple.

Climbing to the top of this structure is a very exciting experience. You can go up and down in the middle of the lake, but it does not give you the excitement of going around the lake. The maximum of the horror is when you climb the tower. The road with the surrounding stairs is much shorter, and on crowded days it is very difficult to switch between those who go up and down. In some places there are places like caves. There is a lot of air at the top of this tower and the horror is high. If you are afraid of high places, don't skip here.

The view from the top of the staircase is spectacular. Gampola is in full view and Pussellawa Kothmale in the other side. This mountain range also includes Piduruthalagala, Nuckles, Hunnasgiri, Peacock hill, Sapt Kanye, Namunukula. The areas like Kadugannawa, Balana and Nelligala can be clearly seen here.

If you are traveling through Gampola we urge you to come and see this Ambuluwawa Seya and discover the adventure here. We also ask you not to do anything that will destroy this ecosystem for future generations.

And please don’t pollute the environment.
