The district is the second tier of Sri Lanka, between the nine provinces and the divisional secretariats, and the unit most Sri Lankans give when they say where they are from. There are 25 of them, from the three crowded districts of the south west coast to the large, empty ones of the northern plains.
The districts of Sri Lanka. Most are named for their main town, so the name of a town is usually the name of a district too, and several share it with the province they sit in or a city that is not the capital of its own district.
The districts are very uneven. Colombo, Gampaha and Kalutara are small and packed along the south west coast, and Colombo is small enough to need a tap area on the map, so zooming in is the way to reach it. At the other extreme, Anuradhapura, Ampara and Monaragala are each far larger than the districts of the wet zone.
The groups are the provinces, so the game lets you drill them one at a time. Each province answers under the same name in Sri Lanka Provinces.
Colombo is the smallest district on the island, and holds the commercial capital and the port. The official capital, Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, is in the same district a few kilometres east of the city.
Nuwara Eliya sits in the highlands of the Central Province and is the coolest part of the island. It holds Sri Lanka's highest mountain, Pidurutalagala, and the tea estates around it.
Monaragala is the largest district in Uva Province by a wide margin, in the dry south east, and is mostly forest and scrub with few large towns.
25, spread over the nine provinces.
The quiz groups them by province, so you can drill one province at a time. Each province is its own quiz as well.
The map is drawn on the land the district administers, and the dry-zone districts of the north and east are large and thinly populated, while the districts of the wet south west are small and crowded.
The tier above this one is Sri Lanka Provinces. For another country at this level, see Bangladesh Districts.
