Meet the team at the Asangon Station at 15:30, from where you will depart for Dehne.
Head out for a weekend in the wild Sahyadris, where you'll enjoy a night of camping and stargazing. You'll be driven to Dehne, where the light pollution is low, the skies are clear, and a gazillion stars twinkle overhead. As the night falls and the temperature drops, a campfire is lit, and you'll enjoy games and music. Once the sky is dark enough, you'll gather around an expert who will point out the constellations and tell you the stories behind them. After this magical session of stargazing, you'll eat a hearty dinner, enjoy the rest of the night, and finally retire to your tents for the night.
Please note that children between the ages of 5 to 8 will be charged INR 1600.
Dehne village lies in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra, away from big cities and bright lights, perfectly situated for a session of stargazing. It's also the starting point for a number of treks in the Sahyadris. From your campsite, you'll be able to see Ajoba Hills, Ratangad Fort and the Sandhan Valley, and you'll also witness a golden sunrise that bathes the entire region in an amber hue.
