India is too big for one trip, so pick a corner: Delhi, Agra and Jaipur for Mughal tombs, the Taj Mahal and pink-walled bazaars, Varanasi and Amritsar for the Ganges and the Golden Temple, or Kerala for Munnar's tea hills and Alappuzha's backwaters. Mumbai and Goa cover the west coast. KL has direct flights to many Indian cities, about four hours to Chennai or Kochi and five and a half to Delhi or Mumbai.
