Sri Lanka is definitely a beautiful country. It’s the ‘Pearl of the Indian Ocean’. That’s why every ruler kept their eye on it over the past years. Its geographic locations and the weather conditions always attract foreigners towards this beautiful land. And it is a suitable country to invest in real estate and carry out businesses. “We are very much happy about this heavenly land”

The name colombo - kolom thota has derived from kolaba thotupala , kelani thota , kelaniya is most ancient city around before 2500 - 5000 year old naga kingdom was there. once loard budda has visited to kelaniya kingdom was in a war for a blue gem chair. between two brothers calld chulodara mahodara brothers. and loard budda has solved the problem. and historical kelani temple has wall art about those story at that time.
@@sanka1 Oh please! He visited Sri Lanka 3 times, although Buddhism did come to Sri Lanka after his death. Plenty of proof if you want to look into it. Coincidentally, when they say the first king in Sri Lanka came from India, that is wrong too. There were already rulers in Sri Lanka when the prince from India came there.
@Jack Mills when you go inside it’s not clean and so many slum dwellers. They are being hidden away. War criminals are running the country. (One family)
@@lbcthinkingoutloud3427 lol..you may be feeeling jealous.. How to hide slums? LOL..Mate as long as the country is nice and clean we don't mind who runs it, be it a family or whatever. It's up to the people of Sri Lanka to decide it! SL is a democratic country , So the people vote for what they want
And colombo is not the official capital but considered and priorotized as commercial capital of the country and colombo district is the smallest district and have the second largest population in sri lanka number 1 goes to gampaha..and colombo city limit has less number of citizens than the outer colombo city suburbs..(this is controdict to other popular city demographical spread you find around the world)
@Jack Mills no but we know america.is....keeping people hostage...putting them out front..and telling kids to go to war..and putting girls as suicide bombers blowing the hell off..in schools and public places are crimes of war
Actually Colombo Airport is an airport located in a suburb of Colombo called Rathmalana, it used to function as the international airport of Sri Lanka until the BIA was built in Katunayake. Today it only services domestic flights though.
Bro Thank you for the video But one correction- Colombo technically has an international airport called “Rathmalana”, they recently declared it as an international airport Although there are no international flights though
@@sheiksalmanm7979 so what do u think morethan 60% of tamils live in Colombo and other Sinhalese majority areas other than Northern province of Sri Lanka. Gets your facts correct before wrong allegations.
It's bad that foreign people get some names wrong because most Sri Lankans don't use the correct English letters when they write Sinhala names in English. For example, It's "Katunayaka" (KA-TU-NAA-YA-KA), not "Katunayake" (KA-TU-NAA-YA-KII) like his said in the video.
These are some amazing facts. I'm telling you though, more Sri Lankans will appreciate this video if you use the correct pronunciation, as many many people mispronounce our names and words. For example in the case of this video, you pronounced Galle Face (Gall) as Gaali face, which isn't the pronunciation. That aside i enjoy your videos. Keep it up
The name "Colombo" not introduced by Portuguese but when they arrives, the peoples pronunciation was "Colomba".. most of foreigners can't pronounce native words properly even you couldn't do so in this vedio.its ok. Colomba ---- for easy pronunciation Colombo.👍 thanks .🇱🇰
It's fascinating to see so many videos about Sri Lanka. Thank you FTD Facts for these amazing videos and for making the world know about this beautiful island!!!
Extremely interesting and informative video. The airport in Katunayake belongs to Colombo district. That's why it's called Colombo airport. Apart from that there is another airport inside Colombo city, in Ratmalana.
Galle Face Green is such a beautiful place love all the local food vendors. Love the city and the good people of Sri Lanka!! Thanks for the correction on what that construction actually was.
@@hasiWills1021 so did they stop the building of it on the beach. I remember seeing the military run on the beaches then the next time I went it was a massive construction going on on the beach.
Although we write it as Galle, in sinhala we may pronounce as gālla (instead of an Ah, it's a schwa at the end afaik.) In Sri Lankan English however, we read the word 'Galle' as 'Goal' (not to be confused with the word 'Goal' itself) By the way, your pronunciation is acceptable in tamil aspects. They call Galle, Gaali Maavattam.
Many thanks for this video. Latest additions to Colombo, among many others are, the Lotus Tower standing at a height of 350m and the Colombo port city which is aspiring to be the most livable city in South Asia with designated recreational(such as parks, a Marina etc), business & residential areas
kola-amba (in sinhalese) kola means tree leaves/color green. Amba means-mango. colombo use to be filled with mango trees back in the day.hence the name,some say.
Colombo International Airport is located in Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia area & it is open for commercial jet operations. #FTD_facts --> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratmalana_Airport
Colombo is a capital city but also the real capital city is Sri Jayawardanapura Kotte (pronunciation: Sri jaya-war-de-na-pu-ra ko-te) yes I'm a Sri lankan
@@Akurstan_Rep yes but they are different type of capitals. Sri jayewardhanapura is the judicial and executive capital of Sri Lanka, whereas Colombo is the commercial capital. Commercial capital is where most of the business and money related activities take place. When someone asks what is the capital, we have to say it is Sri jayewardhanapura because that is the proper capital of Sri Lanka. Colombo is just the commercial capital.
The international airport (BIA) is north of Colombo. While the Actual Colombo airport is in Ratmalana. Which is suburb to the south of the city and immediate south of Mt Lavinia
One mistake bro, Colombo is NOT the capital city of SL. It can be called the commercial capital. The capital is Sri Jayawardenepurapura Kotte, where the parliament is located.
i'm fro sri lanka. i appreciate u. but there r few corrections 1. colombo isn't the capital of sri lanka. sri jayawardanapura is the capital of sri lanka 2. kelani river is 2nd longest river in sri lanka. not 4th
Colombo international airport is not located in katunayaka Colombo international airport (VCCC) is located in Rathmalana and Bandaraneyaka international airport (VCBI) is located in Katunayaka
