Ambuluwawa

AMBULUWAWA IN GAMPOLA






This is a beautiful place to visit in sri lanka.i have already been there in 1994.at that time there's no road to visit.we had to climb the mountain through the forrest and there was a small pond there and broken stachue of load budhdha.


Ambuluwawa peak situated in the center of Gampola Kingdom established by the great Sinhala King Buvanekabahu IV. (1341-1357 AD) was hitherto not put into any use. Height of the peak trom the mean sea level is 365 feet and from the Gampola town is 1965 feet Mayura Sandesa, the messenger poem written in the 14th Century describes this enchanting rock and the surroundings thus:

When the planets and stars disappear trom the sky and when the nectar appears in or drops from flowers on tree tops and when the sun spreads its rays as it rises over the mountain of the east, you may set off trom Ambuluwakada happily
