In India, there are efforts to tap into the growing potential of astro tourism. Technically speaking, all you need are cloud-free, dark skies without light pollution emerging from the cities. Astro-photographers lead expeditions for photography enthusiasts, while the locals trained in astronomy do the honours in other cases.
Good news for sky watchers! Rajasthan in India has become the first state to launch the night sky astro tourism in all its 33 districts! Jaipur, the royal capital of Rajasthan, alone has four famous star gazing venues including Jantar-Mantar, Amber Fort, University of Maharaja and Jawahar Kala Kendra.
