Why ICELAND has to be on your Radar ??( Pictures Speak Louder Than Words! )



Iceland is a country abundantly blessed by nature. It's surreal landscapes as if not from this planet makes the whole place sublime and magical enticing one to forget the luxuries of cities.


No matter which corner of the country you are in , there are spectacular landscapes waiting just for you. Mind - bending sceneries and the incredible displays of nature never fail to astonish you.


This little island nation by the North Atlantic is just perfect for a road trip with lots of surprises lurking around every corner constantly leaving you wondering. Add to it, the generous daylight hours during spring, summer and autumn. Not surprising, Iceland is known as the "Land of midnight sun" for a reason.


It is undoubtedly one of the most alluring places of Europe. The beauty of nature here is untouched and unspoiled by humans thereby casting a spell over the traveller.


Whether it's about the nature's art of icebergs breaking off from the incredible Vatnajokull glacier and drifting slowly towards the sea or the mid - Atlantic ridge where one can literally stand across the continents of North America and Europe, Iceland has so much to fascinate it's tourists.



The geothermally heated pools, active volcanoes, majestic mountains by the yellow grass caked with snow flakes teleports one to a different planet where wonders seem limitless.


Iceland is a world of myths and a place filled with legends. You may notice strange piles of rocks, tiny wooden houses people build as home for elves, small churches for converting elves into christianity during your visit in Iceland.


These amusing folklore fascinates you in a way like no other. But behind all the myths and tales, there is a strong respect for nature and all it's elements.


The cottages and the country side hotels in Iceland are unique and probably the prettiest on planet. Some facing the fjords, some in the gorgeous backdrop of mountains, and some with the beautiful view of sundown by the sea.


Where else do you find such heavenly abodes of serenity nestling among rolling hills ?


This Land of ice and fire is simply picture - perfect, to say the least. There is so much on offer - untouched, undiscovered....... which even Icelanders are continuing to explore.

This Nordic island nation is definitely something you might not want to miss !!!

So once - in - a - lifetime !?? Nah , because once is never enough in Iceland :-)
