Scariest Experience in Kandy, Sri Lanka (but you've GOT TO do it!)

- Today is the day we explore Kandy and the unbelievable Ambuluwawa Tower in Sri Lanka! A huge benefit of having our scooter, Wanda, is that we can easily make the 20km journey from Kandy town to the Ambuluwawa Tower. This tower has to be the sketchiest structure we have ever climbed. Not only is it WAY too small for more than one person to go at a time (and yet everyone is trying to go up and down as they please), but it is so poorly built that the spaces in between the stairs are wide enough for a small child to fall through!
Ambuluwawa Tower sits amongst a beautiful religious site where 4 religions seem to have come together to share this beautiful hilltop. You can find a Buddhist Temple Islamic Mosque, Catholic Church, and Hindu Temple all within a few meters of one another on the hilltop. Everyone who visits this tourist site does so for Ambuluwawa Tower though! The spiraling tower is such a contrast to the surrounding hillside and visitors have the most amazing view at the top of the tower! But seriously, Anbuluwawa Tower is not for those with a fear of heights or a strong desire to keep all of their limbs! Climbing this tower is definitely a risk, and great care should be taken if you decide to make the adrenaline pumping journey.
After Ambuluwawa Tower we headed back to Kandy town for some delicious Sri Lankan food! We decided that for lunch we would try Kottu and Devilled Chicken. Sri Lankan kottu is chopped up roti cooked with vegetable and sometimes egg and meat or fish. If you are coming to Sri Lanka, you cannot miss trying this traditional Sri Lankan dish! We also found devilled chicken for lunch, which is another traditional Sri Lankan meal of spicy chicken and rice. Both dishes are delicious and should be added to your list of amazing Sri Lankan foods to try if you are headed to Sri Lanka for a visit!
After lunch we went for a walk at Kandy Lake which is beautifully situated in the center of Kandy, right next to the hustle and bustle of the city. Around Kandy Lake you can find cute cafes, restaurants, and lots of people taking advantage of the beautiful Sri Lankan weather.
No visit to Kandy is complete without seeing the Temple of the Tooth (often called the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic). This historical temple was built specifically to house the Sacred Tooth Relic of Buddha. Every night there is a ceremony in the temple that anyone can attend, no matter your religion. Anyone viewing the ceremony has the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the gold case that holds the Sacred Tooth Relic, and it really is something to behold!
We hope this video helps you to see the things to do in Kandy and help you decide what to do in Kandy if you are heading for a visit! Even if you don't have a scooter, we highly recommend finding a way to get to Ambuluwawa Tower if you are going to be in Kandy. Climbing the Ambuluwawa Tower is one of the our favourite things to do in Sri Lanka!

I was too afraid when I climbed that tower! But it’s one of the best memories I have of amazing Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Just ended watching your Sri Lanka video ❤
Yeah it was amazing! So glad we did it!
I had anxiety just watching you climb that tower!! 😬😬😬😬
Wow everything in Kandy looks absolutely incredible! How convenient that you both were wearing white for the temple haha do you know why you’re supposed to wear white there or if it’s fine if you don’t? That makes me think I should reconsider my almost entirely black wardrobe for full time travel 😅
Thanks for visit sri lanka ❤️🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
Thanks for the warm welcome!
The older I get, the more afraid of heights and more aware of my mortality I get! Love that you made it to the top. Incredible views. Sri Lanka looks amazing. Thank you for sharing! ❤

Love from Kerala guys 😘🥳
Incredible video, as always, it kind of works out that many people turned around halfway up the tower, I have seen pictures of this tower filled with people from top to bottom, with no room to move. Yikes!
Totally true! It all worked out haha 😋 glad you enjoyed!
Love u guys❤️
Very nice guys 🎉
Thank you 😀
Yes. Actually the building you see from the outside is the Kandyan royal palace.
Temple is the small shrine you said that looked like a building inside a building.
It's like a chapel attached to the royal palace
Ohh that's so good to know, thank you for sharing that with us!
Fun fact,Serendipty is derived from the word Serendib, Which was an ancient name for Sri lanka.
Enjoy 😉

Come to Sigiriya ❤🎉
Very soon!! In the next video we will show the drive to Sigiriya 😊
@@nicoleandmico ❤❤❤❤❤
My legs are turning into spaghetti watching this. And the railing seems so low! Eeeeee!!!
This was legitimately far more terrifying in real life than what it looks like on the screen 🙈 I feel like we didn't fully capture the age or "ricketyness" of the structure. We definitely had to put our blind trust on some of the steps ☠️ worth it for the views though... we think lol 😋😅
🌚❤🇱🇰
🇮🇳❤️👍
Thanks for watching!
Go to moon plains
We will have to do that next time!
I think its not actually temple its the exact palace of last king in sri lanka
Really? It said it was a temple. Interesting
hi
මන් මෙටන දකලා නැනෙ
Eat with ginger beer
Nope. I got butterflies in my butt watching this. I'm gonna guess here and I may be wrong, but are your parents from the Philippines by any chance Mico. Just wondering
Yes it was quite scary but we're glad we did it. Also yes my parents are from the Philippines ☺
That tower's railings looks crumbling anytime. Such a bad idea to climb it. Government should ban the climbing or redo with some better architecture and structural design.
It's scary!
I unliked video because of thumbnail. So bad first impression
It was scary but a must do!
@@nicoleandmico Yeh I am not angry with you. I just disagree with you. You guys doing great job 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! 😊
Dont forget the Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom movie locations. Its nearby.
Would love to visit that one day!
❤❤❤
Thank you for watching!
🥰
