Overview

Colombo has been a flourishing sea port for centuries even before when ancient seafarers traded in pearls, precious stones, elephants, peacocks, cinnamon and other spices. Today Sri Lanka's commercial capital is a fascinating blend of the east and the west, the past and present and the old & new.

Colombo City

The name "Colombo", introduced by the Portuguese in 1505, is believed to be a derivative from the classical Sinhalese name 'Kolon thota, meaning "Port on the river Kelani" and also been suggested that the name may have been derived from the Sinhalese name Kola-amba-thota which means "Harbor with leafy mango trees"

Climate

Only major change in the weather of Colombo is during the inter monsoon season which is from May to August and October to January. During this time heavy rain fall can be expected.
