Hi there!!

Travelling around India really depends on what places you want to see. I lived in Northern India for four months and have travelled relatively extensively in that area. If you are arriving in Goa and leaving from Mumbai then I would probably look at travelling south, travelling up the east coast to the north and then returning to Mumbai.
It depends how many places you wish to see along the way, it may be a better use of time to book an internal flight to get across the country quickly. Alternatively fly to Delhi, or Agra or somewhere and then come to Goa and Mumbai at the end as the two are relatively close together.

I'm afraid my recommendations of places to visit are limited to the North of India but anyway here goes...
Definitely visit Delhi - you can get a day tour of the city with a private taxi for 500-600 rupees and they will really get you around all the major tourist spots in a day. Definitely check out the Red Fort and Humayun's Tomb.

Agra as already mentioned is a dump. I went there and managed to see the Taj Mahal at dawn and visited Agra Fort both of which were amazing. The town itself is not particularly nice and the level of animal cruelty is horrific. If I were to do it again I would aim to get there for the afternoon, see Agra Fort, visit the Taj first thing in the morning and then move on. It's not worth hanging around too long.

Jaipur is an amazing place to visit and has plenty in the way of museums and palaces. - The three are obviously the famous 'golden triangle' and often tours can be arranged in Delhi for quite reasonable prices. Rajasthan is also the perfect place for doing camel safaris - anything from a couple of hours to a few days.

Amritsar is a must-see. The Golden Temple is simply breathtaking - and it's even possible to rent a room for the night there! There are also some great Hindu temples in the town, a great market and the closing of the border is easy (and free) to see too.

Other great places to visit are Shimla, Manali (great place for skiing, paragliding and adventures!), Haridwar, Rishikesh, Mussoorie, Dharamsala and of course McLeod Ganj (visit the Dalai Lama's Palace and temple).
