Itinerary

We get to Stavanger - the energy capital of Norway where you would be meeting the guide and the rest of the participants directly at Stavanger bus terminal or at the accommodation where we would be staying for the night.

We have an early start today and post breakfast, we catch the shuttle bus from Stavanger to get us to to the starting point of the Kjeragbolten (boulder wedged between 2 hills) hike. Today is going to be a fun & challenging day, as the hike takes around 6 hours to complete. Kjerag is a challenging hike, that takes you 1000 metres above the sparkling, turquoise Lysefjord below. Post the hike, we catch the shuttle bus back to our accommodation to rest up and get ready for tomorrow's hike.

Post breakfast, we catch the Scenic ferry to get us to the starting point of this hike. Today's hike is easier and should be done in about 4 - 5 hours which should give us plenty of time to rest up and recover from our hiking adventure over the last few days. Post the hike, we catch the shuttle bus to get get us back to Stavanger where we can rest up over dinner & drinks.

Get to Odda in Late afternoon from Stavanger using multiple buses and where you also meet other participants that are only joining for the Trolltunga leg of the trip. In the evening you go on a short excursion of Odda that includes visiting various waterfalls and also go on a short hike as well (time permitting) followed by some supermarket shopping and dinner.

Hiking Trolltunga: We start early to catch the Shuttle bus to get to the start of the hiking point for the impressive “once in a lifetime” Trolltunga hike (assuming weather wise it is best to do the Trolltunga hike today) . We will have about 20 kms to hike over the course of the day with an ascent & descent of around 350 metres. After completing this we head to our accommodation, followed by dinner before calling it a night. Note: Refer to safety tips video for Hiking Trolltunga along with additional info about this hike.

For those that are interested in hiking today, we have the optional Buarbreen Glacier hike, which is a hidden gem of a hike that would takes only about 3 - 4 hours to complete. Post the Glacier hike we regroup with the rest for an Optional Norwegian Sauna followed by dinner and reminisce about our wonderful trip.

Checkout of our accommodation in Odda and then catch the bus back to Bergen bus station and then onward to Bergen airport for those participants heading home.
