India
A subcontinent, not a country in the usual sense — language, food and climate all change state by state.
India runs on a scale that flattens most itineraries — Rajasthan alone is bigger than most European countries, and the desert heat from April through June rules out travel across much of the north. Winter (October–March) is when the interior is actually comfortable to move through.
