Splendours of Northern India
Tour
Mughal Monuments and Majesty
India is a land of rapturous liveliness, of art and devotion and flowering creativity, a land that values intense quietude amidst its endlessly swirling colour.
And, of course, it’s a land of sublime natural and perhaps matchless human-made majesty. Based from some of the world’s most expertly luxurious and serene hotels, this brilliantly choreographed two-week journey brings us into intimate contact with many of India’s most compelling splendours: Delhi’s many monuments to Mughal and British imperial pride; Jaipur’s whimsical pink buildings and vast royal residences; beautiful Udaipur’s lakeside and island straddling palaces; and perhaps especially with the Taj Mahal, an edifice so bewitching that Micato’s friend Theo Cruz “had to shut my eyes to escape the feeling of being in a dream.”
Highlights
India’s zestiest cities and grandest monuments: the incomparable Taj Mahal; bustling Delhi; the ornate and vast palaces of Jaipur; and beautiful, lakeside Udaipur.
Around-the-clock services of a Micato Travel Director and our unique, always-on-call Concierge Service.
Some of the world’s most revered hotels: Agra’s entrancing Amarvilas, the majestic Rambagh Palace in Jaipur, and the scintillating Udaivilas in Udaipur.
Encounters with some of India’s most fascinating movers, thinkers, and shakers.
Back in 1966, Felix Pinto, one of Kenya’s most highly-regarded farmers, started a luxury safari company. As it has always been, Micato is more than just a business—it is a labour of love.
Planning Your Luxury African Safari
There is nothing like planning your first safari -there are so many opportunities for exploration and relaxation, so many ideas to consider.

It’s different in Micato’s Africa. Hospitality is a way of life here: travellers are welcomed like old friends by Micato founders Felix and Jane Pinto.
Every Micato programme offers more segments by air and safari trips through Africa than you might imagine possible. We include three to six time-saving flights on every safari, eliminating up to twenty hours of driving, while at the same time providing thrilling aerial views of the panoramic terrain.
