India’s first dark sky park, established in the buffer zone of the Pench Tiger Reserve in Maharastra, unfolds celestial spectacles for stargazers and astronomy enthusiasts. Tourists, who came to the park for wildlife safaris, are pleasantly surprised to discover that the Reserve also offers a Dark Sky park where they can stargaze without any light pollution disturbing their view. Dark Sky Parks are typically located in remote or sparsely populated regions where artificial light is minimized to enhance the visibility of the night sky. By protecting the night sky, Dark Sky Parks also contribute to the conservation of nocturnal habitats and ecosystems that rely on natural light cycles.
