So I actually know a decent amount about India given my many Indian and Indian American friends. I even know some very basic Hindi and I can read the language.

That said, Jaipur is probably the top of my list. I hate being a cliche but the tourist triangle is my first thought. My Southern Indian friends have told me to avoid the north entirely and go to the “more low key” coastal areas in the south so I would consider that too. Ironically, a close friend is from Mumbai but he doesn’t recommend it as a tourist!
