Is Ambuluwawa Tower scary to climb?

Yes, climbing up into the tower’s highest outer levels triggers intense vertigo because the spiral staircase wrapping around the outside tightens drastically and only has a railing that reaches about the waist. If you have a fear of heights, you should really not go beyond the mid-level, enclosed viewing platforms.

On the narrowest parts, two-way foot traffic forces people to physically squeeze past one another while they are suspended hundreds of feet above the ground. The concrete structure is fully secure and structurally sound, yet the psychological adrenaline rush is the main reason it has gone viral online.
