FINLAND (Ep 1) | Travelling from India to Lapland | Flight cost, Overnight Train to Rovaniemi & more
We travelled to Finland in February 2024 for a week. We had an itinerary packed with fun activities like meeting Santa Claus, staying in glass igloos, hunting the Northern Lights and more. This is the first part of the 3 video series. In this video, I show you how we reached Rovaniemi, Lapland from Mumbai, India.
We booked an Indigo-Turkish Airlines flight from Mumbai to Helsinki. From Helsinki airport, we went to Helsinki main station through local transport. We then boarded a 12-hour sleeper train for Rovaniemi.
You can book Helsinki to Rovaniemi train here: www.vr.fi/en
This trip is NOT sponsored. We paid for everything you saw in the videos.

Hello Pooja di and Navin bhaiya love your videos, while watching your videos I also feel like travelling the whole world (in my dreams though 😅). Loved your airport look too 😊. How do you manage your expenses during your trip, do you guys have forex cards or you guys save money and particularly discuss your trip.
Wow
Amazing puja di enjoy love from Pakistan❤❤❤❤
Hey Pooja❤ The video was amazing as always. Just wanted to mention have you seriously considered offering your itieniary planning services to people? Like in a business way.....I have seen someone doing it quite well for earning purposes. I guess you have that potential in you too. Best of luck for everything you cutie soul❤
such an amazing video.... i see you travelled in Feb.. would Dec be a good time to travel to finland as well ?
Pls share a video on things to carry for such trip

Alright, first up great video! Super valuable. A few questions popped so i am just going to list it down below. Flight cost-one way or round trip? also is it inclusive of XL fair or not.? Costs breakdown if possible either throughout for two or one would be helpful. It's confusing when it's for one for flights and for two for the train. (Written ones) Sorry for shooting all the questions,it is just that i am planning on visiting maybe the end of this year so i'd love to follow through!

Xl seats were ₹3500 extra Flights one way Mumbai-Helsinki 28,900 per person! And train cost was for two
Excited for this series. One of our bucket list trips. Hopefully will plan soon. Quick question- did u had to take Istanbul visa too due to connection n layover
@poojaonthego
4 ай бұрын
Nope.. no transit visa required.. but it your layover is more than 8-9 hours then you gotta check

That’s a good question. So consider every cabin like a personal room. You get a key of your cabin so only you can open it

You selected Intercity 273 which is at 11:13pm?? Please help me with this🙏
@mantelikukkapenkki2368

There is 2 options for a sleeper train. The earlier one Intercity 265 leaves Helsinki at 19:29 and arrives in Rovaniemi at 7:20, the later departure Intercity 273 is at 23:13 and arrives at 11:03. Both last 11 hours 50 minutes. Personally, I would take the later one because you rarely get to check in before 12 noon and dragging heavy bags in the snow and freezing cold does not match my image of a nice start to a vacation 😂 Welcome to Finland 🙂
Any issue with language n also do we required guide
Tell more about train Cost
