What is "katugastota"

Katugastota ( Sinhala: කටුගස්තොට) is a suburb of the city of Kandy in Kandy District, Central Province of Sri Lanka. It is located along the Kandy-Kurunegala high way approximately 4 kilometers from Kandy city centre. The suburb has shown rapid development in the past 4 years along with the completion of the Kandy-Kurunegala high way and the new Katugastota Bridge. It would be fair to tell she is growing at a faster phase than her mother Kandy which is the capital of Central Province.

This suburb although lacks a bus stand has plenty of buses going through it as a result of its location between Kandy and many other populous cities and villages. Buses could be seen starting from as early as 5 am to about 10 pm.
