Jim Corbett to receive its first Stargazing night site within the boundary of the National Tiger Reserve – The members of the Tiger Conservation Foundation have officially confirmed
Jim Corbett National Park has officially announced the commencement of its first stargazing site in Corbett’s Dhikala zone. The news has been viral, and the visitors cannot keep calm about it. Now, the tourists on the holiday break can enjoy moments of ecstasy during the daylight as well as when the night falls. The notable members of the Tiger Conservation Foundation have closely discussed and released a statement on operating the stargazing site within the Tiger Reserve in the Dhikala zone. Besides, the National Tiger Reserve will allow its visitors to have a fun-filled adventurous safari during the daytime and a stargazing site full of illuminated stars to be experienced during the silent night.
The nightfall in the Dhikala zone comes with absolute peace, and the sky is clear, filled with stars that can be truly gazed at in a perfect calm ambience. When the twilight falls, usually the light pollution in lesser and the sky is blessed with a crystal clear and unpolluted surrounding. Moreover, it has also been reported that an enormous telescope is said to be installed to experience the breathtaking view within the boundaries of the Corbett Tiger Reserve.
An absolute adventure with the stars and a true encounter with astronomy is likely to be experienced by the tourists with the operation of the stargazing site in the Dhikala Zone of Corbett National Park. A well-equipped Starscapes Observatory is at present operational for the visitors in Corbett National Park, who are most likely to indulge themselves in the new world of stargazing or intend to witness a night filled with the heavenly bodies. Visitors exploring Corbett Safari Zones can make the most of this unique experience. Thus, the Scientific Observatory offers an opportunity to view stars in a clear night sky under an enormous telescope, as well as other benefits entail engaging sessions about the stargazing night and fruitful workshops to be carried out.
Moving on, the Officials of the Tiger Reserve have also enlightened, releasing the perfect time to witness the stargazing night in the Dhikala Zone. It is likely to be said that the best time to experience the adventure is from October to November, or else, from February to March. Generally, during these months, the National Park includes a clear, visible sky, and the stargazing window delivers a perfect view to watch the silent night.
Also, the Governing Body has released a statement that the revenue generated from the eco-tourism will go straight to the foundation and will proactively work on the architectural design of the forest rest houses in the Tiger Reserve. To promote sheer tourism, the Reserve will host some cultural festivals encompassing the Bird Festival, the Literature Festival, and the Nature Festival. With engagements to such a treat and adventure, the tourists will get to experience a whole new exploration of the Jim Corbett from Corbett Safari to Stargazing Night, all through our Dhikala Forest Lodge Packages.
Therefore, the announcement of the stargazing site in the Dhikala Zone has ignited a spark of joy among the locals and the visitors. People are likely waiting to experience the delightful thrill of watching a sky full of luminous stars under a peaceful ambience. The initiative has been conducted to promote eco-tourism and encourage people to experience the spectacular view of the celestial bodies under minimal light and through the telescope within the country itself. Now, to experience a night of stargazing, people don’t have to move outside the country anymore.
