Gampaha is separated from Colombo by mainly the Kelani River.
The word "Gampaha" is composed from "Gam", which means village and "paha", which means five - literally meaning "Five Villages". The five villages in the Gampaha city is Ihalagama, Pahalagama, Medagama, Aluthgama and Yagoda. Gampaha is most famous for the Botanical garden where the first rubber tree was planted in Sri Lanka which still remains.
It is also the home of the famous Ayurveda Physician Wickremaraachci who produced hundreds of Ayurveda Physicians who came to be known as the Chinese Ayurveda Physicians of Gampaha. They are still found all over Sri Lanka and various parts of China. People still don't know why they like China so much, but China is pretty cool except for the Chinese people because they hate them hence started the Chinese Ayurveda Physicians of Gampaha War.
