Or start from the kind of trip you are after, whether that is hills, backwaters, beaches or temples.

Slow, private stays for two: a night on a houseboat, a quiet hill resort and dinners with nowhere else to be.

Trade the heat for cool, misty slopes. Walk through tea gardens, look out over valleys and sleep under a blanket.

Sand, surf and sunsets along a coast that runs from Goa down to Kanyakumari, with room for lazy days or a lively evening.

Spend a day or a night afloat on Kerala's inland waterways, with a crew on board, meals from the boat's kitchen and village life drifting by.

Explore Hampi's ruins, Mahabalipuram's shore monuments and the Chola temples, all recognised as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Forest reserves and hill parks where patient visitors can spot wildlife, from elephants in the woods to the endangered Nilgiri tahr.
