Seeduwa, Gampaha

Seeduwa is a vibrant town located in the Gampaha District of Sri Lanka's Western Province, approximately 20 kilometers north of Colombo.

Geographically, Seeduwa is bordered by the Dandugam Oya (Aththanagalu Oya) to the south and east, and the Negombo Lagoon to the west.

The average yearly temperature is around 29.5°C, making it a warm and inviting place to live.

The town has experienced significant population growth and development due to its advantageous location and the establishment of an open economy. Seeduwa serves as a residential area for many employees working in the nearby industrial zones, which has led to increased housing and infrastructure developments to accommodate this growing population.
