We are introducing stargazing treks at Indiahikes — a special trek where you spend every night stargazing with an expert, diving deep into the mysteries of the night sky.

What can you expect from our stargazing trek?

We will have focused sessions on these topics: 

• Observe and learn about different galaxies - Our own Milky Way and our nearest neighbour, the Andromeda Galaxy
• Mark the common constellations of the Northern Hemisphere including Orion, Cassiopeia, Big Dipper, Little Dipper. Learn the history and mythology behind these constellations. 
• Catch the α-Monocerotid meteor shower (This story will tell you why a meteor shower is an extremely special experience) 
• Recognise and learn about the brightest stars of the night sky including the Summer triangle
• Observe the visible planets - Mars, Jupiter and Saturn and Mercury (early morning sky)
• Natural and artificial satellites - Observe the moons of Jupiter and Saturn in the telescope

The experience will be facilitated by our Senior Trek Leader who specialises in stargazing.
