I have created a draft 12 day late September 2027 Itinerary covering Tromso, Lofoten, Abisko, Svalbard, and looking forward for meaningful suggestions and feedbacks. We are couple travelling from India prioritising Nature, Photogenic Landscapes, Glaciers/Icebergs, and Aurora. We usually have limited vacation time and try to maximise opportunity to cover unique places even though the itinerary is bit packed. We are not comfortable self-driving hence doing guided group tours mostly and self walk/hike(easy to moderate). Prior travel - Western/Central Europe[Switzerland, Liechtenstein, France, Germany, Netherlands], NewZealand, Kenya, Georgia, Maldives.
