Pune
The Maratha capital before it was a tech city, and it kept the palaces. Student energy, good food, and Mumbai's weather without Mumbai's press of people.

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
India for first-timers
The first-trip mistake is covering too much ground in too little time. One region done properly, the air months nobody warns about, and what a day costs.
