Rubina Ratnakar comes up with another great travel idea for you. This blog guides you to have an amazing road trip to Iceland. We generally, plan the road trip on the famous ‘Ring Road of Iceland’.
For those who do not know about the Ring Road of Iceland, Iceland’s Ring Road is a circular road running through all the country, forming a consecutive ring. This road is 1332 km long and it may take 15-16 hours to travel the road non-stop. This road, as the name suggests, forms a ring around the whole country. All the significant cities and destinations are connected by this road. When planning your dream road trip to Iceland, you need to decide at which time of the year are you going to visit. You may choose between both summers or winters according to your own desire. While summer is desirable because of the ease in climatic conditions, Winters are attractive, due to the snowy beautiful landscapes. Taking into consideration, the convenience of going on a road trip, Rubina Ratnakar suggests you go in August. Going at that time will save you from snowy rainfall, road blockages, slippery roads, etc. There will be no disruptions in your trip due to pleasant and favorable weather. After that, decide how long you want to go for the trip because if you have limited time then you must decide a specific region to travel to, instead of the whole of Iceland.
Since it is a ring road, you can decide on which way to proceed to your road trip. You can start both clockwise and anti-clockwise directions.
Iceland is majorly divided into two halves: Northern Iceland and Southern Iceland. Most of the tourists, visit Southern Iceland, and hence, it remains busy all year. Some famous tourist destinations in the South region are Gulfoss( Golden Waterfall), Hot Spring Geysir of Haukadalur Valley, Skogafoss, National Parks, Glaciers, Lagoons, and many more. While traveling the ring road all along the east, west, and north there are many destinations. Rubina Ratnakar suggests you travel the southern part first, as it is the busiest and the one with the most tourist attractions.
Having a road trip in winters is possible if you keep in mind all the precautions and safety measures. Iceland is a beautiful place to visit and travel.
