Hike to Troltunga
Troltunga, or Troll’s Tongue, is one of the most popular hiking destinations in Norway. The hiking trail runs through remarkably scenic surroundings and stops at the Troll’s Tongue or Troltunga. The Troltunga is a thin rocky sliver which offers perfect and photographic views of sapphire lakes, and snow-capped mountain peaks. The trail follows a route of 28km, and the summit is 2950ft above sea level. The hike takes about 10-12 hours, and it is preferable to take a guide with you.
Trondheim
The mild maritime climate which prevails in Trondheim is perfect for tours, excursions, and skiing too.

Pay homage to the victims of Nazi Rule at Kristiansten Fortress and attend the interactive exhibits, recordings, and videos at Rockheim. Visit the Archbishop’s Palace and Museum and take a tour of the opulent chambers of Stiftsgarden.
Arctic capital- Tromso
Wanderbugs say that Tromso is the Paris of the North, and most rightfully so too, as Tromso is the starting point of most polar expeditions in the Arctic Ocean. Ride the fantastic cable car up the mountain at the Arctic Capital Tromso, to drink in the spectacular views of nature, and visit the famous Polaria Visitor Center to check out the Arctic Aquarium and attend the films and exhibits. Watch out for the delightful seals at the seal pool of the Arctic Aquarium and stop to admire the iconic Arctic Cathedral, one of the most beautiful destinations of Tromso.
The Svalbard Islands- Polar bear
The Arctic wilderness of the Svalbard Islands will remain etched in your mind forever. Brace yourself to be astonished at the sight of thousands of furry white polar bears in the Barents Sea and Svalbard archipelago. There are 3000 polar bears in Svalbard, who feed on seals and live in snow caves. However, polar bears are not so friendly towards humans (humans wreak global warming, hello!), and thus take an armed guide with your on the expeditions. Do not disturb the polar bear and avoid confrontation at all costs. Stay at a safe distance.
The Geirangerfjord
Satiate your love for the thrill, adventure, and ecstasy with a trip to the fantastic Geirangerfjord. Go hiking in the mountains, try rafting on the choppy currents, or relax with idyllic sightseeing at the beautiful locations of Geirangerfjord. Check out the viewpoints of marvelous beauty that include the Eagle Bend, the Geiranger Skywalk, and the Flydalsjuvet. Sightseeing at the Geirangerfjord reveals a treasure trove of natural jewels like picturesque abandoned farms, thunderous cascades, and more. Do not miss out on the breathtaking views of the surrounding nature at Alesund, Sunnylvsfjord, and the summit of Dalsnibba.
