Great place for stargazing.. They have got two telescopes. Tents arrangement was also very goodPosted on Mandar JoshiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s fantastic place to spend time. Under the beautiful sky , starry night, cold breeze and excellent narration by gracious host Hemant. I visited this twice for Milkyway photography, star trail and star gazing. Highly recommended for family outing.Posted on Vaibhav DugarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An amazing place for star gazing. Hemant and team deserve many Pats on the back for the way they organized over 120 people to view the plants during the weekend of the 25th & 26th January 2025. They have standard tents and the place can get really cold esp during winters. The sleeping bags they provide are not adequate for cold so if you are travelling over the cold season, do carry additional clothes or a blanket to keep yourself warm. They provide good food and the location is a fine place to view the stars.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
