Hokandara
Hokandara is a suburb of Colombo city. It is located approximately fifteen (15) kilometers from the city center of Colombo, adjacent to Thalawathugoda on the West, Malabe on the North-west and Aturugiriya on the North-east. It sits astride the Hokandara-Kottawa Road and the Malabe-Aturugiriya (Borella) Road.
Originally a working-class and farming area, since the 1990s Hokandara has become an increasingly upper-middle and middle-class residential area.
