What the fare includes

  • Into Innermost India Months, years, decades could profitably be spent exploring India’s 812 million richly varietal acres. But few of us have time to follow our bliss indefinitely, so we created The Soul of India to provide a thoughtful, succinctly paced, and delightful look at some of the continent’s most eye-brightening sights. We begin in Delhi, “always interesting to all mankind” as Ved Mehta quoted a taxi wallah as saying. Then we pay homage to the Taj, whose praises we sing throughout. We peacefully search for what is perhaps the most splendorous animal on earth in Ranthambore National Park, wander the glamorous Pink City of Jaipur, and witness intense spiritual devotion at Varanasi, “the most supremely potent pilgrimage site on earth.” We end in the supercity of Mumbai, a distillation of India’s incredible energy and ambition, its daily familiarity with and deep attachment to its many thousands of years of history. Highlights The glowing grandiosity of the Taj Mahal; Jaipur’s magnificent palaces; Varanasi’s deeply affecting spiritual luminosity; and the fascinating megacity of Mumbai. Sightings of the Emperor of Beasts, the Royal Bengal tiger, in Ranthambore National Park. Unstinting services of a Micato Travel Director, and our one-of-a-kind Concierge Service. Meetings with India insiders from all walks of life, and special entree to palace quarters. Some of Condé Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best hotels: Jaipur’s stately Rambagh Palace, Agra’s sublime Amarvilas, and Ranthambore’s winsomely engaging Vanyavilas.
