We are visiting Kandy and want to do a day trip to the Ambuluwawa Tower in Gampola. The spiral staircase looks terrifying online. Is it actually safe if you have mild vertigo.

It is structurally safe, but it is not recommended for anyone with vertigo. The spiral staircase gets extremely narrow at the top, to the point where you have to press yourself against the wall to let others pass. The railing is waist high, but the sheer drop visually is very intense.

I have mild vertigo and I stopped halfway up. Even from the middle sections, the panoramic views of the central highlands are spectacular, so it is still worth the trip even if you do not summit.
