Kalutara ringkonna kohta

Kalutara asub umbes 42 km Colombost lõunas. Kunagine vürtsikaubanduspunkt oli Kalutarat kontrollinud vaheldumisi portugallased, hollandlased ja britid. Linn on kuulus kvaliteetsete bambuskorvide ja -mattide ning imemaitsvate mangostanide poolest.

38 meetri pikkune Kalutara sild ehitati Kalu Ganga jõe suudmesse ning see on peamine ühenduslüli riigi lääne- ja lõunapiiri vahel. Silla lõunapoolses otsas asub kolmekorruseline Kalutara Vihara, 1960. aastatel ehitatud budistlik tempel, mis on ainuke õõnes stuupa maailmas.

Lääneprovintsi kohta

The Western Province is the most densely populated province of Sri Lanka. It is home to the legislative capital Sri Jayawardenapura as well to Colombo, the nation's administrative and business center. Western Province is divided into 3 main districts called Colombo (642 km²), Gampaha (1,386.6 km²) and Kalutara (1,606 km²) districts. As Sri Lanka's economic hub, all the major local and international corporations have their presence in the city and so do all the major designer and high street retailers, so be ready to indulge in some retail therapy in western province.

Kuna saarel on kõigist provintsidest kõige suurem rahvaarv, asuvad peaaegu kõik parimad haridusasutused lääneprovintsis. Provintsi ülikoolide hulka kuuluvad Colombo Ülikool, Sri Jayewardenepura Ülikool, Kelaniya Ülikool, Sri Lanka Avatud Ülikool, Sri Lanka Budistlik ja Pali Ülikool, kindral Sir John Kotelawala Kaitseülikool ja Moratuwa Ülikool. Lääneprovintsis on riigis kõige rohkem koole, sealhulgas riiklikke, provintsi-, era- ja rahvusvahelisi koole.
