  Well, here are some of the variables that I think are relevant:

Info-default-directory-list
=> ("/usr/local/share/info/" "/usr/share/info/" "/usr/local/share/info/")

Info-additional-directory-list
=> ("/usr/local/share/info")

Info-directory-list
=> ("/home/udyant/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-11.89.4"
    "/home/udyant/.emacs.d/elpa/magit-2.7.0"
    "/home/udyant/.emacs.d/elpa/magit-popup-2.7.0"
    "/home/udyant/.emacs.d/elpa/slime-2.18"
    "/home/udyant/.emacs.d/elpa/with-editor-2.5.1"
    "/usr/local/share/info/"
    "/usr/share/info/"
    "/usr/local/share/info/")

  These are samples from Dired:
