Spiritual Travel Guiding in India:

Throw your Lonely Planet book out the bus window, traveling with an insider, a journey through India, most first timers rarely get to experience.

What people have to say…

I had the honor and privilege of being mentored by Nikol at Santosh Puri Ashram in India and on several guided trips in the foothills of the Himalayan mountains.

At the ashram Nikol was insightful, extremely helpful, and thought provoking in her questions and spiritual guidance.  Nikol is a true mentor that doesn’t tell you how to think, but gives you the tools to
think for yourself.  I know if it wasn’t for her, my stay at the ashram would have been nowhere near as impactful and valuable to me.

On our trips, Nikol planned our locations, transportation and places to stay.  She always offered multiple options for destinations and things to do. She spoke Hindi to the locals, which was incredibly important.  Every trip she planned and guided for me was better than the last!  Nikol was gracious at moving at my pace, an amazing photographer, and a wonderful spiritual guide.

I would recommend Nikol for any position that she chooses to pursue.  She is organized, passionate, hard working and a beautiful soul to be around.  She has forever made an impression on me and my way of thinking.  Any company would be lucky to have such an amazing woman on their staff!

You don’t plan India, India plans you…

This is where is all comes together, where I get to share with You all I’ve learned from all my amazing experiences in this beautifully orchestrated chaos we call “Incredible India”.

20 plus years traveling in India!

Nicole has lived and traveled throughout Northern India, off and on since her first trip December 2000 – May 2001, and continuously since January 2010. She has been hosting and tour guiding guests in India since 2007, including hosting a camp during the Maha Kumbh Mela.

Bi-Lingual Hindi / English and Well Connected.

Nikol’s fluency in Hindi, ability to navigate via trains, buses, shared jeeps and off the beaten foot paths, as well as negotiate your socialization with local society, will ensure you a relatively trouble free time of your life.

I have connections with various desi (Indian)/ videshi (foreigner) friendly ashrams and home-stays, drivers, guides and porters throughout both Garhwal and Kumaon regions of Uttarakhand, as well as Allahabad and Varanasi in Uttarpradesh.

Being bi-lingual (Hindi/English) and connected with Juna Akhara, I easily: host camps during the Kumbh Melas, guide small groups locally in Haridwar (Mansa Devi, Maya Devi, Chandi Devi, Harkipauri, darshan with various local sadhus / mata jis, etc.) and Rishikesh (Ram Jhula, Laxman Jhula, Neelkant Mandir, Jhilmil Gufa, Vishist Gufa, Kunjapuri, etc) as well as trekking (Char Dhams, Vasudhara, snowboarding in Auli, Pindari Glacier area of Kumaon, etc.).

I also have done field production, work as a fixer, simultaneous translation for interviews and location scouting for film and video projects throughout Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Gujarat, North India. [View Portfolio]
