- 🥂 End the session with cheese, wine, and high-altitude warmth under the starlit Indus sky
Whether you’re a curious traveler or an amateur astronomer, Bilupa’s serene setting, low light pollution, and immersive programming make stargazing here a soulful expedition into the universe.
🌊 Pangong Lake – Celestial Theatre at 14,500 ft
At Nature’s Nest Camps, perched on the edge of the iconic Pangong Lake, the night sky performs in silence. With nothing but the lake, mountains, and stars, this is a cosmic amphitheatre like no other.
Our astronomy evenings at Pangong include:
- 🌌 Guided telescope sessions with real-time sky navigation
- 📚 Introduction to constellations, lunar craters, and meteor showers
- 🍵 Bonfire + Butter Tea nights with cosmic conversations
- 🎨 Add-on: Astro-sketching & sky photography sessions
The high altitude, dry air, and zero light interference make Pangong one of the best stargazing locations in India — a rare window into deep space.

What we offer is not just an activity, but an awakening. Each astronomy session is curated with science, storytelling, and soul, making every glance at the stars a journey inwards. With Kailash Expeditions, Ladakh becomes not just a place to visit—but a universe to discover.
