\nclimbing. There are more than 150 waterfalls that freeze and stays frozen during the winter
\nmonths because of the valley\u2019s depth and climate. There are routes available for beginners
\nand for advanced climbers. Some routes are challenging. Routes can be reached from roadside
\ncar parks which are within less than 15-minute walk. There are Rjukan Ice festivals celebrated
\ntoo. I was lucky to be a part of this festival. This festival brings branded climbers from all
\nover the world to a tiny village of Rjukan.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tkwsdmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/The-Jotunheimen-Traverse.jpg\")

\nbeautiful landscape and shouldn\u2019t be missed. This traverse is a part of the Jotunheimen
\nmountain range. This is a four day transverse. I hiked through Gjendesheim to Turtagro. I
\ntook in the famous Besseggen Ridge. The conditions for this is not great. It will give a wet,
\ncold and windy experience. The length of this transverse is 94 km. There is public transport
\naccess. Sleeping on trails is available. One should take all the supplies from the town. The
\nbest time for this hike is from late June to early September.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tkwsdmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Kayak-the-Folgefonna-Glacier.jpg\")

\nseems like a fairytale landscape of blue lakes, streams, and rivers between the ice and snow-
\ncapped mountains. People can travel by paddling to one of these freezing cold glacial lakes,
\ndodging icebergs on the way and reaching the glacier. The location is surreal and I took
\namazing photographs. This is a unique adventure to the arctic regions of the world. The tours
\ntake 6-8 hours. The tours are restricted to a number of people.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tkwsdmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Hike-Pulpit-Rock.jpg\")

\n300,000 visitors to take this hike every year. It is known as the easiest hikes in Norway. I too
\nexperienced it and I can say that anyone can easily do it. People can get perfect Instagram
\npictures out here. The rocks are slippery and wet. It juts out 600 meters above the Lysefjord
\nfjord. I had a breath-taking experience. The length of this hike is about 6 km and takes 4
\nhours. There are a car and public transport facility.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tkwsdmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Snowmobile-Svalbard.jpeg\")

\nglaciers. This expedition was full of fun for me. It was too peaceful and such silence is
\nworth it. One can hear the crunching of snow through the snowmobile engine. Svalbard has

\ntourist attraction\u201d. Kjeragbolten is a 5-meter cube boulder that sat wedged in a crevasse at an
\nedge of Kjerag Mountain. It is over there for over 50,000 years. It is a very popular tourist
\nattraction. I visited this place and took great pictures but I was also careful about the height. It
\nis a steep and long climb. The boulders are an only major attraction. It is a challenging hike
\nwhich everyone should know. The length of it is 12km and it takes 6-8hours. The best time
\nfor this place is between June and September.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tkwsdmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Reindeer-sledding-in-the-far-North.jpg\")

\nhired a guide who explained the history of reindeer sledding and their lives as herders. Now
\nonly 5,000 Sami are reindeer herders. This is a much lighter adventure and is suitable for all
\nthe ages and abilities. There are single day tours available but I took an overnight sledding
\nadventure where I got to sleep in a traditional Sami tent called Lavvu. One should try this
\nbetween November to March when the snow is falling and one gets to see the Northern
\nLights.
\nOverall I had a great time trying all these outdoor sports. All the adventurous people should not miss
\nthese out. These things helped me to learn a lot about myself and strengths. Those who are not
\nadventurous should also try these sports. It might actually prove to be a life-changing experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
