the road right yes  so let's see if this time the bike is starting looks like you guys are bringing me luck so  whenever the bike is not starting i will just   turn on my camera start speaking to you  guys and then no problem with the bike   i see something interesting like every 100  meters i could make hundreds of stops here   and probably never reach the destination but yeah  we have a saying in germany that goes like uh   which means like the the road is the destination   so it's not about ending somewhere where you  intend to end it's also about enjoying the journey   to get there you know and i totally do that oh we  have coconuts here oh hello you have coconuts ah i'm looking for coconuts the first  shop i see here with coconuts see like literally 100 meters  later i found something else   how much is one coconut here how much how much he also has sex fruits here and some more fruits   i've never seen before but  they look rather old right all right let's check out the view oh i

whom is duty   thank you very much no i want to go  ula lubala the big tower no no no um ah i can see it from here over there yeah i see it on top of  the mountain yeah ah so go there right   yeah yeah okay okay perfect yeah kilometer  four four kilometer perfect okay here you   can see it on top of the mountain over there  the tower where we want to go all right not far all right let's check again after  bike starts with no problems once again no problem oh yeah but with  this pace and so many stops i think we   will never reach the tower but yeah  he said four more kilometer only so   yeah maybe next stop at the tower unless i  see something interesting along the way again okay that's where we want to  go and i just realized how   high on the mountain it is i'm wondering if my  bike will be able to make it up there because it   looks like it's going to be really steep to go  up there oh i haven't thought about that before   to be honest yeah but i can hear the truck  truck also has to work a lot to get up here   for the three-wheeler let's see if we can overtake  oh yes my small bike is stronger than expected hello excuse but it's not so steep no problem carefully okay okay so buy a ticket  here okay i will pack over here no no i want to drive my bike oh yeah i said  i can drive but carefully because it's steep   but i'm used to that ticket here  yes okay how much is the ticket 600. just one person yes all right i'm happy  that we can drive up there rather than   hiking up there in the heat so far looks alright i mean if you saw my northern thailand road trips  here series a few months ago and you know we had   some really steep roads there as well but to  be honest i also had a stronger bike there so   oh oh oh check this out it always doesn't look  dead steep on camera but it is pretty steep so i'm driving full speed now trying to go  full speed and the bike can make it to 30 now   there's a monkey family blocking  the road please let me pass okay they were friendly actually i still have  some bananas left that i bought earlier but   i think you should not feed the monkeys here or the horse why are there horses here on the  road seem to be wild horses oh   that was unexpected seeing a horse here or  maybe it was a mule another horse i'm not sure full speed and the dry the bike can make it to  20 kilometers per hour or not even 20 like 15 16.

all right let's park right at  the entrance first row parking   all right so we have made it to the ambula tower  which is actually a really cool place because it's   a cultural diverse place it's a center for  different religions so there is a buddhist   temple here there's a hindu temple here there's  a church here and there's a mosque here so people   from different religions gather together here at  this place and yeah we can climb the stairs of the   tower now and the top is a very narrow staircase  it's 48 meters high and i heard that it's not easy   to climb when you are afraid of heights normally  i'm okay with heights but let's check it out   wow isn't that cool i'm not a religious  person but i love to see cultural diversity   we have a mosque here we have a hindu temple here   we have a church here and i guess that  is the buddhist place maybe this as well   well cultural diversity guys absolutely  amazing to see that on one place here wow all right at this part we have to  walk outside no more stairs inside   whoo i don't even think it's even  here you know it's a bit like this well you can see it's pretty high  here oh okay now the scary part   but i mean this tower is uh standing here for   quite a few years why would it break down now  right but oh my god oh it's super narrow here oh it really feels like the tower is about to   to collapse to one side right because  here it's a basically like this here oh it's getting a difficulty now i know no no no did he just ask me for a cigarette no i  don't have a cigarette i'm not smoking   you want to pass me first and  i will wait here thank you have a nice day oh thank you very much  stuti i'm not even fitting through here even though i'm normally pretty good with heights  but this is challenging this is challenging i think this is the end here challenging  scary but definitely rewarding i mean   look at the views here and you  have to stand here like this wow i made it back down wow what a place definitely  nothing for you if you are afraid of heights   but if you can handle the height then you  will be rewarded with breathtaking views   cool place and yeah if you enjoy videos from  the countryside in sri lanka exploring rural   sri lanka then leave a like so that i can see  that you enjoy these type of videos and yeah   if you haven't seen the previous video where i  tried some local food in a very local restaurant   check out the video right here thanks  for watching stay healthy stay positive   and then see on the next episode ciao guys
