India is not a destination that can be reduced to one city, one landscape or even one style of journey. A first trip might combine Delhi’s historic neighbourhoods, the Taj Mahal, Rajasthan’s forts and the ghats of Varanasi. A return visit could focus entirely on Kerala’s backwaters, Himalayan valleys, national parks or the temple towns of South India.<\/p>\n
This guide brings together 100 of the best places to visit in India, but it is designed to do more than create a bucket list. For every destination, you will find the kind of traveller it suits, the ideal length of stay, the most comfortable season and the places that combine naturally with it. That makes it easier to turn inspiration into a practical route.<\/p>\n
International travellers should resist trying to see the entire country in one holiday. India rewards slower travel. For a 10-day trip, concentrate on one region. With 14 to 18 days, you can combine two complementary regions using a domestic flight. If you prefer a comfortable pace, plan at least two nights in most cities and three or more nights in countryside, wildlife and mountain destinations.<\/p>\n
