As others have said, travelling on to Rajastaan from Delhi is stunning. But flying into Bombay, so so are the temple complexes in the Decan traps and Cochin and the canals of the Kerela backwaters. Having travelled widely in India, I perhaps have a slight preference for the south, but this was almost 40 years ago so places will have changed.

But wherever you go, I'm sure you will love it and will go back to do some of the places you missed first time.

And if you go to Agra, don't miss the Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah aka the "Baby Taj", often said to be a precursor for the Taj. Stunning building and [was] much more relaxed.
Thanks for all the tips. I'll print them off. Just leapt and snapped up a cheap return flight to Delhi with Etihad from Heathrow.
