The first glimpse of Gierangerfjord! — Ilam Padmanabhan

I’ve loved traveling and discovering for as long as I remember. I’ve written some posts about travel (my Iceland series here). My thanks to Anne Bonfert and Warren Patterson for inspiring me to write this particular one. All pictures are from the author.

In this post, I will write about one of my favorite places in the world — The Fjords. I’ve been lucky enough to visit a few, but I will cover one in specific in this post.

Fjords are long, narrow inlets of the sea between steep cliffs created by glaciers. The one we will read about today is arguably the most famous of them all — Geirangerfjord. It is on the Unesco World Heritage List, and for a good reason.

A map of our ride through the day!

We stayed at a small town about 170 KM away and planned a day trip to the Fjord. It is one of the most famous routes to drive in Norway, but we didn’t know how scary it could be. The road is full of twists and turns, and at points, you feel like the car could just fall off the edge.
