Our ten-day Kerala trip started with a one-day visit to Kochi, during which we had some interesting experiences.
A recent trip to Kullu Valley wasn't quite what we expected. But we still came away with lots of great memories.

The first stop on our two-week motorcycle tour was Sawai Madhopur, where we had planned our first-ever Ranthambhore safari. We wanted to catch a glimpse of Ramthambhore National Park’s famous tigers, and—after a few hiccups—we did!
