Jan – Feb: West coast and deep south in prime beach season.
Feb – Mar: East India before the heat builds; Darjeeling/Gangtok in crisp spring air.
Mar – Apr: Northeast spring — Kaziranga safaris open, orchids blooming, then an easy ride home.

🗺️ Region-by-Region Itinerary — Plan B
Tap any region to expand. 30 nights · 20 Nov – 19 Dec 2027.
🚗🧭 Brisker pace than Plan A: 22 stops in ~30 days doesn't leave room for a full separate rest day everywhere, so most halts combine a short drive with light same-day sightseeing (🚗🧭 Travel+Tour). Only the five headline stops and the two pure transit halts keep a dedicated day for each.
❤️ Heart-care route: Shimla (~2,205 m) is the highest overnight stop, no high mountain passes or strenuous treks anywhere, and every long drive is followed by an overnight break. Carry the medical file and prescriptions in the car at all times.
Default: 20 Nov 2027 — change this and every date below recalculates.

Seasonal Strategy
Nov 20 – 26: UP temple circuit and Taj Mahal. Pleasant, pre-peak cold.
Nov 27 – Dec 1: Coastal Gujarat. Comfortable winter beach & temple weather.
Dec 2 – 9: Desert Rajasthan and Delhi-NCR — pack layers for cold desert-camp nights.
Dec 10 – 16: Himachal, Punjab, Chandigarh. Winter in the foothills — Manali may see light snow.
Dec 17 – 19: An easy three-day ride home via Sonipat and Lucknow.
