Event Description
Leonid Meteor Shower Camp | 17–18 Nov 2026
Experience the Leonid Meteor Shower under the Sahyadri night sky.
Spend an overnight at Nisargshala, away from the city’s bright lights, and explore the night sky with an expert-led stargazing session.
The Leonids are one of the most famous annual meteor showers, known for their very fast meteors. In 2026, the predicted Leonid maximum occurs in the early morning of 18 November IST, making this overnight experience especially interesting for meteor watchers. IMO
Along with the Leonids, explore planets, constellations and deep-sky objects through the telescope and learn how to identify the night sky for yourself.
