Inaccessible place for brooding heroine touring India (5)

I believe the answer is:

eyrie

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'inaccessible place' is the definition.
(eyrie can mean a difficult to access place)

'heroine touring india' is the wordplay.
'heroine' becomes 'Eyre' (Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte).
'touring' is an insertion indicator (tour can mean to go around).
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'eyre' placed around 'i' is 'EYRIE'.

'for brooding' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eyrie that I've seen before include "Bird's nest" , "High spot" , "nest site" , "home of 12 [RAPTOR]" , "lofty dwelling" .)
