Aurora Dreams: Journey of Ananya to the Arctic : Dream It, Travel It – Series 22
Aurora Dreams: Ananya’s Journey to the Arctic
Ananya had always dreamed of witnessing the Northern Lights, and this winter, she decided to embark on a solo adventure to Tromsø, Norway, one of the best places on Earth to see this celestial phenomenon.
Her journey began with a thrilling dog sledding experience through the snow-covered landscapes of the Arctic wilderness. As she rode through the frozen expanse, the silence of the vast, white world around her was both eerie and mesmerizing.
As night fell, Ananya joined a guided Northern Lights tour deep into the Arctic Circle. Wrapped in layers of warm clothing, she waited under the star-studded sky. Suddenly, streaks of green, purple, and blue began dancing across the heavens—an awe-inspiring sight that took her breath away.
But her Arctic adventure wasn’t just about chasing the aurora. She also explored ice hotels, tasted local delicacies like reindeer stew, and visited the Sami people, the indigenous inhabitants of the region, learning about their unique culture and traditions.
Her final stop was a cruise through the Norwegian fjords, where she witnessed stunning ice formations, spotted orcas and humpback whales, and embraced the serene beauty of the Arctic.
