Ladakh Astrophotography Tour

Ladakh - the land of passes, has always attracted every traveler. Often, described as piece of broken moon, Ladakh is a high altitude civilization. Ladakh is full of pleasant surprises with monasteries and natural phenomena like high altitude deserts, lakes as big as seas and of course the Karakoram Range of the Himalayas.

Hanle is renowned among stargazers for its moonlike landscape. Along with being one of the tallest observatories in the world, the high-altitude Indian Astronomical Observatory (IAO) is situated here at a height of 14,764 feet. It features upgraded facilities for astronomy at night. Since 2001, it has owned the two-meter Himalayan Chandra Telescope. At the Hanle site, a seven-unit High Altitude Gamma Ray (HAGAR) telescope is also in use. The best would be to set up camp with a heavy comforter and a cup of hot tea and think about the universe as you stare into space, though, as Hanle is renowned for its clear sky. You can travel through the "moonscape" during the day to reach the stunning Tso Moriri Lake. Around 254 kilometres separate Leh from Hanle.
