Stars despite being tiny dots in the sky, store a plethora of information about worlds beyond the Earth. From astronomy to mythology, stars have contributed to every field of knowledge. Hidden among those constellations are trivial but interesting facts and stories.
Unravel these mysteries on a fun trip to a village on the Deccan plateau of the Sahyadri Mountains. Enjoy the stargazing away from the city lights and pollution. There will be fun activities and yummy local food to add fun to the cool pleasant night.
This tour will help you to make sense of what’s going on in the night sky. You’ll learn how to navigate using the stars, be captivated by stories of the cosmos, and look through a telescope to see things that aren’t visible to the naked eye.
Our stargazing experiences are run by an experienced astronomer offering professional and enthusiastic narration of the views you’ll see through the telescope. Join us for a fun interactive and insightful sky-watching overnight tour, stargazing experience and fascinating storytelling. So, come together with your family, friends, or that special someone for an unforgettable evening under the stars.
Please be aware that stargazing tours are weather dependent they may be cancelled or postponed in case of cloud cover meaning no visible stars.
Under such circumstances, SG-Trekkers will not entertain claims for a refund.
