Incredible India - Tourism and more

We have a new kind of tourism . Astrotourism . Many private observatories that have sprung up in the last three to five years, catering to astrotourists . Indians are now travelling to remote locations in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh, the Andamans, and the interiors of the countryside where light pollution is minimal, all in pursuit of witnessing the mesmerising night sky.

India’s new tourism boom is in the sky. Uttarakhand to Andamans, stargazing on the rise

Amateur astronomers are banding together to organise stargazing trips, teach people to make telescopes, and introduce the curious public to this niche hobby.

Meghalaya . Here Khasi people make a bridge out of roots of rubber tree ( root still connected to tree ) . Its called "living root bridge " . It can take up to two decades for a living root bridge to get completed . Once mature one bridge can have as many as 50 people and can be as long as 76 meters . Noone knows when and how this tradition of making living root bridge began .
