Uttarakhand Tourism and Starscapes Launch Nakshatra Sabha

The Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board and Starscapes has collaborated to launch Nakshatra Sabha, an Astro Tourism initiative.

Nakshatra Sabha offers participants a comprehensive astro tourism experience with activities like stargazing, solar observations, astrophotography contests, and camping.
The initiative aims to create a platform for astronomy enthusiasts, adventurers, and travellers to marvel at the cosmos while enjoying Uttarakhand's natural beauty.
Nakshatra Sabha will commence in early June at George Everest in Mussoorie and continue until mid-2025, featuring immersive events across various locations in Uttarakhand.
Alongside stargazing, the initiative will explore potential night sky sites in districts like Uttarkashi, Pithoragarh, Nainital, and Chamoli, accompanied by seminars and webinars led by experts.
Nakshatra Sabha also aims to provide professional training and skill development for locals interested in astronomy and tourism, while advocating for dark sky preservation and boosting local economies.
