Guest stories
1 / 4
“I’ve been to dark sky sites in Rajasthan and Ladakh. Novae Glamp gives you a comparable sky with none of the travel. 30 km from Hyderabad and I saw Saturn’s rings. Legitimately incredible.”
Good to know
Can I bring my own telescope?
Yes. There’s level ground set aside for your equipment.
Is the sky dark enough for serious observing?
It’s a Bortle 4 site: on moonless nights the Milky Way is visible and the zodiacal light is often seen.
Do you provide tracking mounts?
No. Bring your own if you need one; we’ll help with settings and framing.
Which stay is closest to the sky?
The camping tents, then the huts. Everyone gets equal telescope time.
