Images and words by Micato Safaris

It's not uncommon for India to be fairly high up on the bucket lists of world travelers, and often, when travelers return from this country, we hear a sentiment that's usually repeated: Why wasn't India even higher up on my list? Not until you set foot in this land of contrasts can you fully comprehend the whirlwind of colors and capacity for incredible experiences. A mosaic of diversity, India's soul is swimming deep in history and culture.

India truly offers something for everyone: Architectural wonders, unique wildlife, culinary adventures, fascinating locals, spiritual experiences, and world-famous hospitality. And, believe it or not, you can find all of these things on The Soul of India, exquisitely gift-wrapped and with a Micato-style ribbon on top.

A favorite amongst our clients, The Soul of India is a thoughtful, delightful look at some of the continent's most eye-opening sights. It begins in the legendary city of Delhi and moves on to the beloved city of Agra, where travelers pay homage to the Taj Mahal. Next, travelers peacefully search for tigers—see more about this majestic creature elsewhere in this issue—in Ranthambore National Park, wander the glamorous Pink City of Jaipur, experience deep spirituality in the sacred city of Varanasi, and end in vivid Mumbai, a distillation of India's incredible energy and ambition.
