Urban Treasures and Coastal Delights

Western Province, also known as Basnahira, is the province in Sri Lanka with the largest population. Around six million people call this place home! The Western Province is special because it houses important places like Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, which became the new capital territory in 1978 and now houses the Parliament of Sri Lanka. Colombo, the biggest city in Sri Lanka and a major seaport is also located here. This bustling city is not only a cultural and commercial centre but also the capital of the Western Province. If you're looking for excellent education opportunities, you're in luck! Almost all of Sri Lanka's top educational institutions are in Western Province.
