A CELESTIAL JOURNEY!

Ladakh, known as the "Land of High Passes," offers one of the best night skies for astrophotography. With its high altitude, low humidity, and minimal light pollution, it provides an unparalleled opportunity to capture the Milky Way, star trails, and even deep-sky objects.

STAR GAZING IN LEH

Leh, the heart of Ladakh, is one of the best places for stargazing. Its high altitude, clear skies, and almost no light pollution make it perfect for seeing the stars. At night, you can witness the breathtaking Milky Way over Pangong Lake or mesmerizing star trails at Hanle Observatory. Every night in Ladakh feels like a magical journey into space

The best time for stargazing in Leh is April to October when the skies are clear. The New Moon phase is best because the sky is darkest, making the stars shine brighter. The best time to see the Milky Way is between midnight and 4 AM, when it is highest in the sky.

Stay Options for Stargazers
Ladakh has different accommodation options for travelers who love the night sky:

Budget stays: Guesthouses and homestays in Hanle, Pangong, and Nubra Valley.
Mid-range stays: Boutique hotels and camps near Pangong Lake and Tso Moriri.
Luxury stays: High-end resorts like Ladakh Sarai and The Grand Dragon with stargazing decks and premium services.
