Overview/Itinerary

Secret New Year Camping 

The campsite will be at Bhandardara, which is in the interiors of Maharashtra and one of the darkest spots in our state with the least amount of light pollution. You will witness the darkest night sky possible. One may see the Milky Way with their naked eyes and spot numerous stars and galaxies that are never visible from the city. For all astrophotography lovers, we'll be taking some killer star trails and Milky Way pictures. It will be a treat for your lenses. Or if you get tired, you may chill in one of the open tents and immerse yourself under a sky filled with gazillions of stars.
