Lucy in the sky with diamonds via night tourism
New Indian ExpressTraditionally, vacation itineraries were packed with daytime activities—visiting monuments, basking on sun-soaked beaches, exploring bustling local markets, or heading on hiking trails. This shift towards night tourism is offering travellers the opportunity to experience places in a new light, transforming the way they approach relaxation, exploration, and adventure. Away from the light pollution of urban centres, national parks, mountain retreats, remote villages, and desert resorts worldwide are capitalising on this trend, offering guided stargazing tours, telescopes, and even astronomy classes to help visitors appreciate the cosmos. Until a few years ago, there were few opportunities for people to experience astro-tourism activities,” says Ramashish Ray, founder, Starscapes, which collaborates regularly with the Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board to promote astro-tourism in the state. Today, you can enjoy incredible views year-round in places like Mauna Kea in Hawaii or dark sky parks like Galloway Forest Park in Scotland.
