🗽 New York & the Northeast

New York, where most flights from India land, with Washington, Philadelphia and Boston along the Amtrak Northeast Corridor (Acela and Northeast Regional trains, 1.5 to 4 hours between them), New Jersey's Akshardham and Edison close by, and Niagara Falls an hour's flight or a day's drive north-west. Spring and autumn are best; winters are cold and snowy.

🏙️ Chicago & the Midwest

Chicago's skyscrapers, museums and lakefront, and Devon Avenue's Indian food. United and American hub at O'Hare. May to October; winters are bitterly cold.

🌴 Florida

Orlando's theme parks and the Kennedy Space Center, Miami's beaches and the Everglades, and the Overseas Highway down the Keys to Key West. Brightline trains link Miami and Orlando; Key West is a drive or a short flight. Warm and dry from November to April; summer is hot and stormy, and hurricane season runs from June to November.

🎷 Texas & the South

Houston's Space Center and its great Hindu temples, live music in Austin and Nashville, jazz and Creole food in New Orleans, the Great Smoky Mountains on the Tennessee-North Carolina line, and the old Atlantic ports of Charleston and Savannah. Hot, humid summers and Gulf and Atlantic hurricanes from June to November; spring and autumn are best.

🦬 Denver & the Rockies

Denver and Boulder at the foot of the mountains, Rocky Mountain National Park's alpine road, and far to the north-west Yellowstone's geysers and wildlife with the Grand Tetons beside it, and Glacier on the Canadian border. Summer is the season: Yellowstone's roads are closed to cars from November to April, and Glacier's Going-to-the-Sun Road opens only from late June to October. The parks are reached by car or by flights to Jackson Hole, Bozeman and Kalispell.

🏜️ Las Vegas & the Southwest Canyons

The Grand Canyon, Zion and Bryce, Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend at Page, Monument Valley and Sedona's red rocks, all a road trip from Las Vegas's airport, and Moab's Arches and Canyonlands, nearer Denver. No trains or useful buses: a rental car is the way. Spring and autumn are best; summer passes 40 °C in Las Vegas and the desert, and winter brings snow to the high rims.

🌉 California

San Francisco and the Bay Area, Yosemite's granite valley, the Napa and Sonoma wine country, the Monterey and Big Sur coast, Los Angeles and Hollywood, and San Diego, with Lake Tahoe high in the Sierra and Palm Springs and Joshua Tree in the desert. Air India flies to San Francisco from Delhi. A car is the way between most of them; the Pacific Surfliner train runs Los Angeles to San Diego. Autumn brings the wildfire season.

🌲 Seattle & the Pacific Northwest

Seattle's market, waterfront and tech-town Indian community, and the glaciers and wildflower meadows of Mount Rainier two and a half hours away. July to September is dry and bright; the rest of the year is grey and wet.

🐻 Alaska (summer)

Anchorage, the glaciers and whales of Kenai Fjords, and Denali's wilderness on the Alaska Railroad, from about mid-May to mid-September. Anchorage is 5-6 hours' flying from Seattle.

🌺 Hawaii

Oahu's Waikiki and Pearl Harbor, Maui's Road to Hana and Haleakala, the Big Island's volcanoes, and Kauai's Nā Pali cliffs and Waimea Canyon, 5-6 hours' flying from California. Short inter-island flights join the islands (there are no ferries between them). Warm all year; the winter months bring big surf on north shores and humpback whales.
