I didn't use trains, although they are probably a good idea.
However, you might consider using a car and driver to wander
the district at each of your major stops.
I only did the "Golden Triangle" (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur) but
my blog posts may help you with some ideas. Start here,
then follow to successive posts:

I might go back next year to wander further in the South, so
a trip report after your wanders would be appreciated.
Always looking for ideas.
I found www.indiamike.com and their forum a great resource.
Well worth joining and posting some questions there.
Cheers, Alan, Australia
