Out in the desert beyond the city, the sky is full of stars, a brilliant canopy above the desert, which our Stargazing in Jaisalmer tours provide, allowing the travellers to reconnect with the universe in such a serene manner. Evenings at Pansari Resort, it is possible to have guided stargazing at dunes or terraces where the Milky Way is bright, and the constellations can be seen without any trouble. Each session is informative as guides highlight the key patterns of stars, phenomena of the seasons and myths relating to the night sky in the area. For others who wish to go further, we book telescopes and professionally guided sessions which point out planets and star clusters and, in some cases, meteor showers.
Carry a blanket, something warm and cosy, and some feeling of silence; the silence of the desert, the crackling of a fire in the distance and the gradual movement of the heavens result in moments of intimacy and contemplation that last long after the journey. Stargazing would make a perfect combination with other desert activities such as sunset safari, cultural performance and calm camping at night in tents so that they should be able to enjoy the palette of the day in the Thar as well as the amazing night show. The desert sky here is a permanent attraction whether you are yourself an amateur astronomer or are just out on a night full of wonder and need a peaceful night out.
