Planning a Northern Lights trip from Mumbai is a little different from planning it from Europe—mainly because your journey starts with a long-haul departure from BOM, a time-zone jump, and stepping straight from Mumbai’s climate into proper Arctic winter. That’s why a good Northern Lights tour from Mumbai isn’t just “Finland or Norway”—it’s about choosing the right Arctic base, getting multiple aurora nights, and keeping travel days practical so you’re not tired by the time the aurora window opens.

With LPO Holidays, we build Northern Lights packages from Mumbai with clear inclusions, realistic pacing, and routing that works for BOM departures—so you can shortlist quickly and book with confidence.

Northern Lights Trip facts from Mumbai

Departure city: Mumbai

Best season: Late Sep to Mar (peak dark-sky months)

Cities typically covered (route-based): Helsinki/Oslo (gateway) + Lapland/Tromsø/Abisko region (aurora base)

Best booking goal: 2–4 aurora nights in the itinerary (reduces “one-night luck”)

Style options: group fixed departures + custom/private upgrades

Northern Lights packages from Mumbai usually start with a BOM departure, reach a gateway city, then move north to an Arctic base for multiple aurora nights.

Packages typically include hotels, transfers, and aurora experiences, with flights either included or shared as options from BOM.

The best itineraries are designed to avoid exhausting travel days right before aurora nights.

Why Mumbai Travellers Need a Slightly Different Northern Lights Plan

A Mumbai itinerary should protect your energy and your time. The practical things we plan around:

Arrival timing: you don’t want to land in the Arctic and immediately do a late-night chase on Day 1

Cold adaptation: Mumbai travellers often need a simple layering plan so the first two days aren’t uncomfortable

Pacing: fewer “move hotel every day” sequences—because long-haul fatigue is real

Multiple aurora chances: we plan aurora nights as a sequence, not a single make-or-break night

Cities & Experiences Included

Northern Lights trips aren’t just “waiting for the sky.” A good itinerary from Mumbai balances aurora nights with daytime Arctic experiences.

Gateway Cities (for smooth entry/exit)
Most tours use a gateway like Helsinki or Oslo to break the journey and keep routing clean before heading north.

Arctic Base Cities (where aurora hunting happens)
Depending on the route you choose:

Finnish Lapland (Rovaniemi / Saariselkä region): snowy landscapes, calm stays, aurora viewing areas away from city lights

Norway (Tromsø region): fjord-meets-mountains vibe with strong aurora chase options

Sweden (Kiruna / Abisko region): open-sky aurora zones and viewing-focused bases

Common daytime experiences (itinerary dependent):
snow activities, scenic Arctic landscapes, cultural moments, and slow evenings that keep you fresh for aurora nights.
