There’s a reason why guidebooks to India are always the heaviest: the sheer breadth of places to visit. It’s best to focus on one or two regions, as distances between are vast. Delhi acts as a gateway to the Mughal cities of Jaipur and Jodhpur, as well as the Taj Mahal in Agra. To the east, you’ll find Calcutta, the former capital of the Raj, and the tea plantations of Darjeeling beyond. Further south, the trading port of Cochin leads onto the languid backwaters of Kerala.
