It seems everyone goes to Goa, but in season it is rushed. If you visit Ajanta you will find many other tourists as well, but they will be largely Indian. Not so far away is the quieter Islamic ruins of Mandu. Best not to be rushed here. The ancient Buddhist site of Sanchi is a place that long lives in my memory, again a quiet place to take your time with. South India is full of POI which you can discover on your own. The temples at Kumbakonam near the Kaveri river are a bit off the tourist trail but which stir the imagination.
