Even if you are on a budget, you can still experience Norway’s fjord for a relatively cheap price. Oslo fjord is the closest fjord available from Oslo (hence the name). You can take a dinner cruise or sightseeing cruise, but it won’t be...
The answer is yes, but…. You will need to talk to the ground staff and insist you don’t have (or can’t get) Indian visa. And you will have to emphasize that you cannot go through the immigration. Then maybe, if you have luggage...
It is actually quite easy to apply Indian visa from Nepal, and even if you have foreign passports you can also be granted Indian visa in Nepal and not only from your home country.
We went to Siaulial, Kaunas, Trakai and Vilnius in two days. Actually we didn’t even get out of the car when we were in Kaunas. Hence our major cost was definitely transportation. (Read more about our itinerary here:Lithuania in 2 Days –...
Travelling around a country is always more expensive than only visiting its capital city. We travelled in June, 2015 in a group of 4.
Each of us spent $27.5 per day in Latvia.
We travelled as a group of 4 adults (family). Each of us only spent $17.8 per day when we were in Stockholm.
I didn’t have any expectation on the Vestkanttorget Flea Market. It happens every Saturday from 10-4pm. The location is in a park very close to Vineland’s park, about 5 minutes walk I think. You can ask the local where the flea market is.
Tallinn is a beautiful town. And I won’t mind spending more than just one day here. Some people disagree that prices are significantly cheaper in Tallinn than in Helsinki. But I did feel prices were cheaper in Tallinn. We spent $7.5 per person...
In Frogner’s park, I had one of those aha! moments. There were a lot of people and games. At first I thought it was a summer party, and then the balloons made me feel it was a celebration of something. It seemed really fun and exciting! Though...
Helsinki was more or less a stopover for us between Stockholm and Saint Petersburg, and between Saint Petersburg and Tallinn. I purposely planned it like this. Each of us spent $12.8 per day in Helsinki. Our daily expenditure does not include the...
Oslo is an expensive city, but it should be okay for backpacker as long as you couchsurf or go camping. You cannot avoid transportation cost to/from the airport, and I will suggest you to arrive by Oslo’s Gardermoen airport because you will be...

I think I found the cheapest horse riding tour in Iceland. But I don’t know if I should recommend it. It was not a bad trip, and the scenary was fantastic, but I guess the weather was really cold and I didn’t see seals as close as I...
One thing really surprised me was the role of church in Iceland. Almost by default, you’d find a church in a town, despite how many it is. And sometimes even in the middle of nowhere, the only building you’ve seen other than a...
To see a puffin this close, you actually don’t need to get on a special tour. Simply head to Látrabjarg Bird Cliff, which is about 1.5 hours drive from Talknafjordur campsite. It is a bit far from everything however well worth the trip. Not...
Hvammstangi is the place where you can see seals! Although it takes some effort to get there. When you are in Hvammstangi, continue the road you came in towards Vatnses for 20 km. There is no other road towards Vatnses. And you are ready to park...
