In Rajasthan, the government plans to launch full moon tourism, where visitors can view clear skies in remote areas.
Tourists will also be able to view the moon, stars, planets, and many other things that people miss in their everyday lives. According to officials, the state government’s Department of Science & Technology (DST) has written a letter to the Department of Tourism.
Earlier this year, Rajasthan became the country’s first state to introduce Astro-sky tourism. In all 33 districts of Rajasthan, the state government is organizing camps under the initiative.
Astro sky tourism has already approved the purchase of 38 telescopes under this context. Among the 33 stations, four will be located in Jaipur at the Jantar-Mantar, Jaipur, Amber Fort, University of Maharaja, Jaipur, and JKK, which will serve as the venue for astronomical events this year,” said the DST’s outgoing secretary.
Besides bringing out hidden scientists among the students from villages and small towns, the DST is also planning to install telescopes throughout the country so visitors and residents can observe the moon, stars, and planets.
Rural tourism will be boosted because the state’s interior has clear skies, said a tourism official.
