World of Northern Lights and The King's trail @ Abisko

Ever since I read about the Aurora aka, the northern lights, it was my dream to witness them in real. When you tend to desire for something, life helps you out in achieving them. More about Aurora here . Back then I was in Stockholm, Sweden for a short work assignment (more about Stockholm in other posts). One night, while browsing through the internet, I stumbled upon some mesmerizing photos of northern lights. That's when it hit me that this is the closest I have ever been to the opportunity of seeing them. I did some research and found out that the chances of seeing northern lights (hereafter NLs), depended on 3 major factors: 1. How clear the sky is. 2. How less is the light pollution level 3. How strong is the solr wind intensity. (check out this website ) There are many places to witness amazing NLs in Sweden. Abisko, Kiruna to name a few. So after some research, I booked my train tickets to Abisko for the 29th of October. Train travel is always very enriching...
