in order
- Stop 1ColomboThe commercial capital: Dutch warehouses turned restaurants, a Portuguese-era quarter and the best food on the island.
- Stop 2SigiriyaA 200-metre granite plug carrying the ruins of a fifth-century sky palace, and the best sunrise climb in Sri Lanka.
- Stop 3KandyThe last royal capital, holding the Buddha's tooth relic in a lakeside temple and the gateway to the hill country line.
- Stop 4Nuwara EliyaA hill station at 1,900 metres that the British built to feel like Surrey, surrounded by the estates that pay for it.
- Stop 5YalaThe best odds of a wild leopard sighting anywhere on earth, in dry scrub jungle that runs to an empty coast.
- Stop 6GalleA walled Dutch trading port on a headland — the most complete colonial fortification in South Asia, and still lived in.
