Where to stargaze in India? Bringing to you the hidden gems of India that'll make you spellbound
Are you an astrophile? Because stargazing involves more than just gazing up at the sky; it also involves searching within to discover other place in the cosmos
One of the greatest mysteries in human history has always been the existence of space beyond which humans can inhabit. In India, looking at the stars is similar to gazing into the depths and expanse of space. Planning a trip to the hills is necessary if you want to experience astronomy because rising pollution levels have an impact on air quality. Here is a list of locations in India where you can go with your family, friends or coworkers to view a starry sky.
Neil Island in Andaman & Nicobar Island
Neil Island is located in Port Blair, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands' capital. It is well-known for its pristine white sand beaches, unspoiled coral reefs and the abundance of lovely wildlife and birds. The glittering stars from the night sky are reflected in the waterways during the night, creating a lovely and dreamlike atmosphere.
Spiti Valley in Himachal Pradesh
The Spiti Valley is situated between 9680 and 13450 feet above sea level. Being at such a great altitude makes it simple to reach a clear, sparkling sky. The best places to see magic in action are the Spiti Valley villages of Kibber and Kaza. Visit when the sky is dark enough to view the stars. If you are lucky, you might as well get a glimpse of a shooting star.
Rann of Kutch in Gujarat
Rann of Kutch, the biggest salt desert on earth, deserves exploration since it is nothing less than stunning. It is a traveller’s paradise thanks to the white sand, clear skies, expansive moon views and sparkling stars.
Pangong Tso Lake, Turtuk Village, Nubra Valley in Ladakh
Another location worth visiting for stargazing is Ladakh and again at a high elevation, the clean air and pure sky leave you speechless as to how wonderful our nation is. Pick any location and prepare to see a jewelled sky at night.
Kodaikanal in Tamil Nadu
Kodaikanal is everyone’s favourite place to go stargazing in India due to its distinctive longitudinal position and favourable topographical circumstances. On exceptionally clear nights, you might even be able to see the Milky Way and even a shooting star.
When planning a trip to the hills or even just when you want to take in the beauty of the night sky, you should try to include stargazing on your itinerary.
