West India mixes Goa's beaches and Portuguese-era churches with Mumbai's energy, the rock-cut caves of Ajanta and Ellora, and Gujarat's salt desert, lions and temple coast.
November to February is the main season. The monsoon (June to September) turns the Western Ghats green and is a quiet, lower-priced time for hill retreats like Lonavala and Mahabaleshwar.
