Om Centralprovinsen

Den centrale provins i Sri Lanka består primært af bjergrigt terræn. Provinsen har et areal på 5.674 km² og en befolkning på 2.421.148. Nogle større byer inkluderer Kandy, Gampola (24.730), Nuwara Eliya og Bandarawela. Befolkningen er en blanding af singalesere, tamiler og maurere.

Både bjerghovedstaden Kandy og byen Nuwara Eliya ligger i Centralprovinsen, såvel som Sri Pada. Provinsen producerer en stor del af den berømte Ceylon-te, som blev plantet af briterne i 1860'erne, efter at en ødelæggende sygdom dræbte alle kaffeplantagerne i provinsen. Centralprovinsen tiltrækker mange turister med bjergbyer som Kandy, Gampola, Hatton og Nuwara Eliya. Tempeltand eller Dalada maligawa er det vigtigste hellige sted i Centrel-provinsen. Klimaet er køligt, og mange områder omkring 1500 meter har ofte kølige nætter. De vestlige skråninger er meget våde, nogle steder med næsten 7000 mm regn om året. De østlige skråninger er dele af den midterste tørre zone, da den kun modtager regn fra den nordøstlige monsun. Temperaturerne varierer fra 24°C i Kandy til kun 16°C i Nuwara Eliya, som ligger 1.889 m over havets overflade. De højeste bjerge i Sri Lanka ligger i Centralprovinsen. Terrænet er for det meste bjergrigt med dybe dale, der skærer sig ind i det. De to vigtigste bjergregioner er det centrale massiv og Knuckles-kæden øst for Kandy.
