JAKARTA - Norway is known as a country with spectacular natural panoramas. There are many amazing experiences you can experience while on vacation in Norway. Starting from mysterious natural phenomena such as UFO spots, to highly well-known Aurora Borealis in foreign countries.
For Indonesian tourists planning a vacation to Norway, the first thing that needs to be confirmed is a passport. This travel document must have a validity period of at least six months from the date of return. If the validity period is less than that, it is better to immediately extend it to the immigration office so that it is not hampered when applying for a visa.
Norway is included in the Schengen area, so Indonesian tourists must have a Schengen Visa before leaving.
Applications can be made through VFS Global as an official representative, with general conditions such as application forms, passports, biometric photo fittings, ticket and accommodation proofs, travel insurance in effect throughout the Schengen region, as well as financial documents.
The management process usually takes about 2'3 weeks, so it should be submitted earlier before departure.
Here are seven unique experiences that you can find while on vacation in Norway, as quoted from Visitnorway.com.
1. Safari camel in the Arctic region
Not in the desert, but in the Arctic region, precisely at Hammerfest. This camel safari on the northern tip of Norway has become an unusual experience.
During the summer, visitors can even feel the sensation of going around with a camel while enjoying the phenomenon of midnight sun.
2. UFO phenomenon in the valley of hessdalen
Since the early 1980s, the Hessdalen Valley in Tr Lindelag has been in the spotlight due to the emergence of mysterious light in the sky. This phenomenon is still often seen today. In fact, some local residents call it a UFO spot.
In this area, there is also an observation cabin for tourists who want to stay and at the same time try their luck to witness the unexplained celestial phenomenon.
3. The longest toboggan in the world is in Loen
For those looking for sensations outside of the ski, Loen offers a seven-kilometer (toboggan)-long slide track. From the top of the mountain, tourists can ride the Skylift before sliding down the slope. This spacecraft is called one of the longest trajectories in the world and provides an exciting experience for winter adventure lovers.
4. Meet directly with Elk's deer
Elk or a large deer like in Frozen animation is one of Norway's fauna icons. In some locations, such as Elgtun in the south, tourists can see Elk up close and even feed. This activity is an interesting way to get to know the typical Scandinavian animal more closely.
