As the descending flight was about to touch down, the view from my window seat was magical. The enchanting spectacle of the snow layered forest made the land look like a winter wonderland. I was hooked at the first sight itself. Located between Russia and Sweden, Finland offers some of the most exotic experiences in the world.\u00a0 Known as a land of contrast, where the sun rises only for a few hours in the extreme winter, making Finland as one of the coldest countries and at the same time Midnight Sun shines for a month in summer. Blessed with four seasons, the country\u2019s wilderness is one of the most celebrated possessions of Finnish people. With 18,800 lakes and around 70% forest, the Finnish term <strong>\u201cEveryman\u2019s Right\u201d<\/strong> makes perfect sense when you are free to roam amidst nature anywhere you want. The flaunting Gothic architectures, the recognition of\u00a0<strong>\u201cThe Design Capital\u201d<\/strong> of the world, the only place to meet the real Santa Claus, getting lost in the forest with exotic Reindeer, sharing your smile with the Sami people and the dancing Northern lights, you name it and Finland has it.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_77 counter-hierarchy

Blame it to the Finns, as they are the biggest coffee lovers in the world. The Finnish people consume more coffee per person than any other country. You can go cafe hopping in Finland. I had a great time spending one evening in a cafe, having coffee with my fellow travelers. Do have a cup of coffee with a Finnish local and indulge in never ending conversation.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Share_your_smile_with_the_Sami\"><\/span>Share your smile with the Sami<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/20170202030229_IMG_3463-2.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3006\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3006\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/20170202030229_IMG_3463-2.jpg?resize=799%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"799\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/20170202030229_IMG_3463-2.jpg?w=799&amp;ssl=1 799w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/20170202030229_IMG_3463-2.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/20170202030229_IMG_3463-2.jpg?resize=768%2C577&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/20170202030229_IMG_3463-2.jpg?resize=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When in Lapland, meet the Sami people .

The concept of stepping into a heated room, shedding clothes or being nude is a matter of certain inhibitions for other nationals.

The traditional way of spotting Northern lights are snowshoeing, cross-country skiing or snowmobile and reindeer safari.

It appeared like a dream to me . It\u2019s magical, mythical and mystical. Lapland is possibly the best place to see the Northern lights in Finland. They say that it appears on more than 200 nights a year in Finnish Lapland. Most of the tourists visit Finland to spot the northern lights. To add here, Lapland is also home of the real Santa Claus, adorable Reindeer and the indigenous Sami people. I spent the maximum time in Lapland during my trip to Finland, where from indulging in Snowmobiling, snowshoeing, Reindeer safari in the forest, meeting Sami people, sampling local food to spending a considerable time exploring the surrounding in the weird time zone, I did it all.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Helsinki\"><\/span>Helsinki<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/20170202091711_IMG_3709-2.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3010\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3010\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/20170202091711_IMG_3709-2.jpg?resize=799%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"799\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/20170202091711_IMG_3709-2.jpg?w=799&amp;ssl=1 799w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/20170202091711_IMG_3709-2.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/20170202091711_IMG_3709-2.jpg?resize=768%2C577&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/20170202091711_IMG_3709-2.jpg?resize=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The capital city of Finland, Helsinki is the buzzing city with a lot of happening in each corner.

The vibrant seaside city can be easily explored on foot or one can try taking a tram ride within the city. Interestingly, one can find trams or subway trains only in the capital city of Finland. What attracted me in Helsinki was undoubtedly the design district, Gothic architectures and numerous cafes. The food and music scene in Helsinki is cutting edge and vibrant. The Finns love to party and attending music festivals. You can find numerous music festivals in summer in Helsinki.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lakeland\"><\/span>Lakeland<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/00_Carelia_ship_MK.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3011\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3011\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/00_Carelia_ship_MK.jpg?resize=800%2C505&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/00_Carelia_ship_MK.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/00_Carelia_ship_MK.jpg?resize=300%2C189&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/00_Carelia_ship_MK.jpg?resize=768%2C485&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lakeland is the largest Lake District in Europe.

Most of the people have their own lake house where they spend their breezy summer vacation with family and friends.
