About this user
Gampola is a town located near Kandy in the Central Province of Sri Lanka. Gampola was made as the capital city of the Island by the King Buwanekabahu the fourth, who ruled for 4 years in mid fourteenth century. The last king of Gampola was King Buwanekabahu the fifth. He ruled the Island for 29 years. A separate city was build in Kotte during this time by a noble known as Alagakkonara.
The city is located amongst Sri Lanka's central highlands, hence the climate stays mild throughout the year. Located 3,567 ft. above mean sea level, Ambuluwawa mountain hosts a hill top tourist spot that houses a biodiversity complex celebrating environmentalism and cultural and religious diversity.
The majority of people in Gampola are Sinhalese Buddhists while a substantial population of Sri Lankan Moors and a small minority Indian Tamils also reside in the city.
