What You’ll Do
Geminids Meteor Shower Watch
Settle into the stillness of Sambhar’s salt flats as the sky comes alive. With no mountains or trees to block your view, you’ll have a full 360° panorama of the night sky — perfect for watching meteors blaze across the heavens. Guided commentary from our expert StarGuides will help you understand the origins of the Geminids and how to observe them best.
Telescopic Stargazing
While the meteors dance above, powerful telescopes will bring deep sky objects into focus — star clusters, Jupiter, and Saturn may also be visible in the early night hours. Our StarGuides will be there to answer questions and point out constellations throughout the evening.
Night Photography & Light Painting
Sambhar’s vast, mirror-like salt pans offer a surreal foreground for night photography. Whether you’re a DSLR enthusiast or using your phone, we’ll guide you on how to shoot meteors, star trails, and creative light painting shots in one of India’s most photogenic locations.
