Finland: On my wish list!

I was rational to embrace a country in my travel wish list, and precipitously a name ‘Finland’ popped up in my head.  A country which is a new entity for me. I googled about Finland and came to discern about so many unanticipated facts about Finland which forced me to include it in my whilst.


May be everybody is cognizant but I was not sentient of the fact that Santa Clause comes from Finland. I guess you are also surprised by reading this fact. Although even the Fins are not sure about his accurate location. It is whispered that his native town is Rovaniemi where he welcomes visitors all the year. Well till now I believed that Santa is a myth or fiction but looks like his family tradition has been carried forward by someone in Finland.


Finland is a go-green country. It has thirty seven national forest reserve which approximately covers eight thousand square kilometers. Interesting fact is that seventy percent of Finland is has tree cover. It has more than ten thousands of lakes. The complete package leads to the golden opportunities for adventure activities.


Most amazing thing about Finland is the famous Northern lights. It is the sunshine of summer which conquers the darkest winter. It is like a magic which is glowing in the dark sky.

Travel Option:
There are close to thirty airports in Finland among which five offers international services on a regular basis.


If you like a train journey to travel inside Finland then Finnish trains are world class with lots of space and provides you a comfortable interior. The rail network is all over the country which I think will be the one of the best and cheapest option to travel around the Finland. This also gives a chance to enjoy the landscape of Finland.

The Battle of Longewala

After drifting for approximately thousand kilometers from Alwar, I have reached Longewala. This place romanticizes me allot. The battle of Longewala a legend in itself. It is located at 120 kms from city of Jaisalmer. Only way to reach this place is boulevard and if you are tourist then you have to hire a cab. Longewala is prevalent because of the illustrious skirmish tussled between India and Pakistan in 1971. The clash of Longewala is all about how hundred odd men clogged and overwhelmed approximately 2000 Pakistani legionnaires. This battle was all about the audacity, impetus, chauvinism and drive to prizefight exhibited by those eighty Indian warriors. This scuffle is one of my favorite scuffles, and whenever I come to this place, my mind start envisaging how horde of men repudiated the destiny. During the Indo-Pak war of 1971, A-Coy of 23 Punjab had taken up the defences at Longewala. The A-Coy company commander was Major Kuldeep Singh Chandpuri later on emer...
