A Morning Above the Clouds: My Mandalpatti Jeep Safari Experience. AI-Generated.
Some travel experiences feel special the moment you plan them. Others surprise you only when you’re already there. My Mandalpatti Jeep Safari fell firmly into the second category. I had heard people talk about “clouds at your feet” and “views that don’t feel real,” but nothing truly prepares you for what it feels like to be standing on a silent hilltop, wrapped in mist, as the sun slowly wakes up the Western Ghats.

Delving into the Sierras
My first Article on caves A couple of years back, my husband and I went to Moaning Caverns for our anniversary. The cave is only a couple of hours' drive from where we live and costs a very reasonable $24 per person for adults. It isn't always easy to find somewhere fun and interesting on a budget, but the national parks and other attractions like this cave are great ways to get a lot of bang for your buck. I thought I would bring you a photo tour of the caverns. Let me know in the comments if you have been to a cavern near you!
