This one’s home, which makes it harder, not easier. This page collects the Indian states I’ve written full guides for — currently Karnataka and Kashmir, with more to follow. The guides cover what each state is best known for in practice: Kashmir’s Dal Lake shikara mornings, Gulmarg’s gondola, and the Srinagar–Pahalgam–Gulmarg loop most travelers do; Karnataka’s own Hampi, the Hoysala temple trail near Hassan, and the Mysore–Bandipur stretch. Each guide leans on real homestay names, monsoon and shoulder-season weather windows, and the inter-city transport that actually exists. Whether you’re planning a first Indian state trip or your tenth, the state pages below are where the specifics live.
