Hills Are Drawing More Astro Tourists Post Covid-19

The small hill stations of Uttarakhand, known for their pristine lakes, scenic spots, and adventure activities are now offering out-of-this-world experiences to travelers. With international trips becoming dearer due to revenge travel after over two years of the pandemic, more tourists are looking at domestic destinations such as Bhimtal and Kausani, propelling Astro-tourism among top attractions.

Astro observatories are treating travelers to rare glimpses of solar eclipses, meteor showers, moon craters, binary stars, and many other celestial events. This includes families, couples, and children who are adding exploration of the celestial bodies to their bucket list.

In spite of unpredictable rains in April and May, the observatories received hundreds of visitors during the two months, and the number will only rise.

With more domestic travelers discovering the thrills of astronomy clubs, local campsites and accessible destinations with spectacular night views, hotels in and around Bhimtal and Kausani are cashing in on the ‘Astro boom’.
