Northern India Itineraries

Zicasso's travel specialist did an amazing job of selecting locations and properties in rural areas that perfectly suited me. I loved the tented camps and safari lodges, visiting rural villages and schools, kayaking, horseback riding, walking, and enjoying cultural activities. 

I selected two resorts and they were everything I hoped they would be, with fabulous service and wonderful experiences. The travel agent selected four other hotels and they were everything I hoped for as well. I loved them all, but especially the one in Jawai Bandh, which may have been my favorite spot on the trip. The service was spectacular, with great leopard spotting, guides, and butlers. 

I really wasn’t keen on the cities. I was sick in Delhi and stayed in my hotel, and quickly went through Jaipur. Two hours there was enough. Udaipur was the best of the three. I especially liked my hike there. The hotel in Udaipur was OK, but there were a lot of pigeons making a noise around the rooms.

It was a great trip and a wonderful experience. I did not quite realize this before the trip, but a tiger safari in India is quite different from, say, a safari in the Serengeti or Maasai Mara. The elusiveness of the tigers is what really makes this so special.

The Zicasso travel agency was great – very patient and very helpful from beginning to end. Everything went very smoothly. Five stars, without a doubt.
