Lapland ! Paradise of Winter

I guarantee that non many of you havent heard about Lapland.Lapland is not a country and not a state..it is actually more comfortable categorize as a region.Same like Tibet,Nusantara and Balkan which owned by several countries part by part.

Lapland consists of part by Russia,Finland,Sweden and Finland which lay on Arctic Circle but in tourism more famous part was in Finnish land and Swedish part.

If you want to go meet Santa Claus,reindeers pull your sledge transport,see Aurora or northern light right up from your bed and any other more about childhood winter fairytale so...Lapland is the real place.

Okay let me share what are the experiences that make me put Lapland as my dream trip.(Even I dont know when I could go there hoho)

Reindeer Sledding

This kind of transport already used by Sami people for a long long time ago and yeah dont worry discrimination of animal didnt occur cuz you know the snow surface seriously slippery.Thanks God for this animal's ability.This reindeer sledding you'll not see in other places in this world.Other cold places in this world they just use huskies as their sledding transport.If you lucky sometime you could have a ride with Santa Claus' sledding transport.

Aurora or Northern Light

Best time to see Northern Light is between mid August until early April.This wandering nature you cannot see anywhere unless in Arctic area.

Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort,Finland...AWWWW!!!I could be crazy when seeing this hotel on my phone.Damn really want to go there even at least one night,just to see Aurora while lying down on bed.For me this is the most unque hotel in the world that you could rarely see other than hotels in Mykonos,Greece and underwater hotel in Dubai.But prepare for those who cant stand against coldness,highest temperature at this time is -10 degree celcius and lowest one is -24 degree celcius so if you go there dont just rely on heater,bring your own extra sweater little bit more.

Santa Claus Village

There are more than 50 Santa Claus Villages in Lapland and yeah its free to entry.Small kids will definitely love to go there cuz the Santa Claus will give them a present each one without any payment and yeah their villages really same with Disney Movies.

Ice Fishing

Feel the adventure of Sami people fishing in Lapland.Sami people quite same like Eskimo people and Inuit people in Canada and Greenland so they are really experience in cold weather survival.

First you dig a hole like in the picture above and then good luck in your fishing.Its free to experience the activity but if you dont have the equipment,surely you can rent from local people.Its nice right ! Like bila lagi nak memancing cara orang Eskimo hehe

Ice Hotel and Ice Restaurant

Ice hotel?How possible?It doesnt melt?Arctic Region able to realise it.These type of restaurant usually got in Swedish land.You could ever drink your glass from ice and yeah it will not melt and what about the buildings?Yes all from real ice and their traditional art,I mean Sami people all about ice block being crafted uniquely.Do you ever want to feel this experience in your life even once?For me I'm promise to myself I will go to this place at least once in my life.

Fact:In Capadoccia,Turkey their hotels and restaurants were made naturally from cooled volcano magma and Lapland theirs one were made from ice naturally.
