The Department of Science and Technology (DST) has undertaken to set up India’s first-ever Night Sky Sanctuary in Ladakh. It will be located at Hanle in Ladakh as a part of Changthang Wildlife Sanctuary.
It will boost Astro tourism in India and will be one of the world’s highest-located sites for optical, infrared, and gamma-ray telescopes. The site will have activities to help in boosting local tourism and economy through interventions of Science and Technology.
For its establishment a tripartite MoU was signed recently among the UT administration, Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council Leh and the Indian Institute of Astrophysics.
It may be noted that Hanle is best suited for the project as it is located in Ladakh’s cold desert region, away from any form of human disturbance and clear sky conditions and dry weather conditions exist throughout the year.
