Finland (Lapland), Inari Village, Snowshoeing! Best place to visit in 2020. Hotel Inari!

Hello Lovely Peeps!!

First and foremost wish you all a very very very very Happy New Decade! Happy 2020!!

To introduce myself, I am Prachi Bobhate, a solo world traveler and discoverer. And since this is my first video on board I chose one of the best moments of my life. A solo trip to the Finish Lapland in a small place called Inari Village near Ivalo.

How to reach: Since I reside in Denmark, I took a flight from Copenhagen to Helsinki and Helsinki to Ivalo. After reaching Ivalo airport I was welcomed by a staff of “Hotel Inari” and we headed to Inari by bus. The Journey was about 1 hr 30 minutes long which turned out to be the most beautiful moments of my life. We luckily witnessed incredible northern lights on our way. Please stay tune for my second video about northern lights sightings :)

If you wish to reach Hotel Inari. Please chose your destination airport as Ivalo and then book a pick up from hotel (you can book online, on mail or call) and they will bring you safely to your destination. The hotel is also lovely to stay and to enjoy different snow activities. Their website: https://visitinari.fi/hotel-inari/
I had a lovely stay of 2 nights and 3 days there and it was worth every penny.

Snowshoeing: Extraordinary experience in the heart of snow village (-24 degree Celsius), that gives you a feel of being alone on some different white planet. Using snowshoes to walk your way through snow forest and spotting reindeers is an experience beyond words. The activity is under guidance of trained tour guides and thus a must try. I would be uploading a new video related to the second activity with huskies, so please hit the bell icon for notifications. The best way to book the activities is through their website while booking your stay. And even if you choose to stay somewhere else, you can still book the activities separately through their website.

Best time to visit: I visited in the month of January and witnessed Northern Lights. I believe the best months for the Northern Light visit are January-February. And if you would like to enjoy the mid-night sun then the best months are May-July.

Cost: Cost varies from season to season and the packages chosen. So, the best way to get a good deal is to book the air tickets in advance, and also the hotel bookings through sites like MakeMyTrip/Booking.com (in advance) and then the activities separate from the website. You can always call the hotel to bargain the charges for the activities and if you are lucky they would surely consider. I received some discount on calling them.

So, if you are planning your dream vacation then Inari, Finland would certainly be high on my recommendation list. So, go ahead and plan your vacation either solo or with your loved ones!

I thus hope you enjoy my first video and please feel free to ask any questions in the comment section.

Be Happy and love yourself!

Best,
Prachi.
