Kanpur
A leather and textile city on the Ganges with a heavy 1857 history that the parks along the river are built around. Industrial, unpolished, and cheap.

When to go
The best time to visit India
October to March is the standard answer and it hides a real problem. The monsoon by region, the Delhi air months, and a month table for many climates.

First trips
