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.

    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!

    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 🙂
