Places to go in India
attraction India Gate
India Gate is New Delhi's 42-metre sandstone war memorial on Kartavya Path, best seen at sunset or after dark when the fountains and floodlights come on and the heat breaks.
attraction Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple
Go early — the temple opens around 3am for Mangala Aarti and stays busiest from mid-morning through evening, so the calmest darshan window is right at opening or in the early afternoon lull before evening aarti crowds build.
attraction Eco Park
Eco Park (officially Prakriti Tirtha) in New Town is Kolkata's biggest urban park — a 480-acre spread of lakes, gardens, boating and cycling trails, plus mini replicas of world landmarks. 4.5★ (182,598 reviews) — what visitors say, hours, and tips.
attraction Hawa Mahal
Hawa Mahal is the pink, five-story honeycomb facade on Badi Choupad in Jaipur's Old City — come right at opening (9am) or in the last hour before closing to beat the tour-bus crowds, and budget 45 minutes to an hour inside.
hidden gem Agra Fort
Agra Fort is the red-sandstone Mughal citadel on the Yamuna River, about 2.5km from the Taj Mahal — plan 2 to 2.5 hours, go right at opening to beat both heat and tour-bus crowds, and enter through the Amar Singh Gate (the only public entrance).
