The 350-metre (1,150-foot) Lotus Tower built for an estimated US$113 million has been plagued by corruption claims since construction began in 2012 and eventually every Sri Lankan Tax payer will be paying the money for the huge cost of building in it, and maintaining the Lotus Tower, and for paying the huge debt amount to China to build it, although every Sri Lankan citizen may not be able to afford to visit and see from the observation tower and eat from the restaurant even though the local ticket price is very much cheaper than the ticket price for Foreign Tourist. So the amount collected on the sale of entrance tickets to Foreign Tourists is a big help for the country of Sri Lanka and it's tax paying citizens to help pay up the loan to China and bear the cost of maintenance of Lotus Tower. It's nice to see that you both visited and went up the Lotus Tower and enjoyed the food at the Restaurant and were able to share those moments on this video on TH-cam @travelwithbalnur. 👍
Of course it's worth it. You are eating in a revolving restaurant on the 27th floor of a tower with spectacular views. That sumptuous buffet alone never mind the location , would cost you at least three times as much in Europe.
$30 per person? We pay $13 per Mac burger in the USA! And you got a never ending buffet for $30 per person with a majestic view at a rotating sky tower restaurant.
No way!!! You guys cracked the code! This is amazing. I like and subscribe for doing this First Time Ever Seen video. I was waiting to see who will be able to do this challenge of showing the one of the best icons of Sri Lanka, Lotus Tower - Rotating Restaurant! You guys did it!!! I've been watching your vids and never thought you would be the ones who would take the honor of showing something no one has shown before, and you deserve the every bit of respect to reach this goal. It's a good lesson not to judge the book by it's cover, you can be surprised when you least expect it by someone you would think not capable of doing such a great video. You said it very beautifully, how you were determined and how you made the effort to do something awesome and great. Hope you will pass the one million views for this video which is a first time done by traveling v-loggers. Best wishes!!!
Lovely, wonderful dear. Let me wish you first, a very happy anniversary and also happy years to come. Nice explanation. U see, when i came overseas , the tower was not opened then. And i haven''t been to sri lanka yet even after it opened. I enjoying through your video. Anyways , hope u guys had a great time and enjoyed the time u spent there. Love u guys
this isn’t the best buffet in sri lanka. try the buffets of some star graded hotels like Hilton, cinnamon and very specially Shangrilla. and they are much cheaper than the lotus tower buffet too. lotus tower charges more for its unique rotating and location experience.
How do you book reservations? need to take the ticket for the lotus tower in addition to the restaurant reservation? included in the restaurant price? Can we able to take video on the drone outside the tower? Thank you
Locals pay enough tax and they also poor to pay 20$.rs500 for a local is fair price.but if u are a foreigner,all around the world,tower tickets are similar price.if u don't feel worth for money, avoid it without comparing prices. tourism is a business.not a free give away party.

This is not the most luxurious restaurant...its just like any other plc in Colombo city...the main difference being its 350 meters above ground...wish these youtubers fact checked before speaking😊
finding halal food is not hard in Sri Lanka as there are many muslims here. Especially in cities, urban areas and towns. So no need to worry about that😄
Why so negative, first understand that you earn everything so hardly. U put so much effort for a better future. So first treat your self highly onece in a while at least. Move forward with the world. Be positive.
Does it worth for 30$ per person?

Did you have to pay seperately for entrance and to reserve a seat at the restaurant? So 20USD for entrance +30USD for food. Total of 50USD?
We paid only for buffet 30$ per person. If don’t go to observation part you don’t need to pay 20$. For buffer you gave reserve one day before. 👍
❤❤❤
I am from srilankan .I am currently working in Saudi Arabia .Join to watch videos in Arabia
It's very nice in 30 USD
white stuff called putto in tamil and my brothers call it pittu .
are u still in SRILANKA ?
Oh no, I already left Sri Lanka

💟💟🌷🇱🇰💞👌
Can we find halal food there?
Yep, as myself I found many of them 👍
@@travelwithbalnur ohh thanks... i will consider myself visiting there atleast once in my lifetime...let me know if the mutton was halal 😃
finding halal food is not hard in Sri Lanka as there are many muslims here. Especially in cities, urban areas and towns. So no need to worry about that😄
Sri Lankan taxpayers already paid it for generations to come
its call as pittu
He looks drunk of food😅
❤🇱🇰❤
❤😅
20 dollars too much cost.
They losing people very expensive..
20$ is LKR6000 It is cheap normally tower prices are gone 30$ - 40$
Its very cheap compare to sume other country top hotels
People. Have. No. Money. To. Eat
Local... And. They. Have. All. This. Shit
Why so negative, first understand that you earn everything so hardly. U put so much effort for a better future. So first treat your self highly onece in a while at least. Move forward with the world. Be positive.
Are you mad?
what a sad life u be living 🤦🏻
@@s.h9325 wrong information bro🤷
