  I took a trip with AstroStops to witness the Leonids meteor shower in November. Without fail, it was my best experience of the whole year!
  The team took care of all our needs, and delivered a really fun, adventurous, learning, wholesome experience in the 2-day trip.
  The instructors were extremely patient and knowledgeable. They taught us so many cool things about this vast universe. If you're an academic, or even just a galaxy freak, you'll have the time of your life! We got to see the sky up close with a massive telescope - we spotted constellations, Saturn, Jupiter, Sun, moon, and sooo many other stars.
  I stayed in a tent. They were great quality tents, kept me super warm and cosy in the cold nights.
  The family who owns the property were our hosts and they made us feel at home at all times. They made fresh home made food. Everything on the menu was delicious and made with authentic ingredients. You'll keep taking multiple servings even after you're full! They were very sweet and kind, accepted all and any requests with a warm smile. :)
  The location is really easily accessible. It's only an hour ride from Kathgodam station. It's close to Nainital main market, so you can head out for excursion nearby. The property itself is hidden in the middle of a jungle, so you'll only find peace and quiet.
  This trip/location is apt if you're looking for a getaway from the city crowds and noise. You can go there solo, as couple, with family. You will come back with your hearts and tummy full of love!

  I would like to give more than 5 star rating. This place was truly breathtaking, the location, stay, home cooked food, and especially star gazing activity alongwith trekking, one of the most incredible experiences anyone will ever have. If you haven't done stargazing uphill now and know nothing about it (like me) but are interested in the universe and cosmos, this place is a must visit. Special mention for Priyanshu, amazing person, who educated us so well regarding the universe, stars, constellations and things we dont know. He's very knowledgeable and super patient and makes your trip more memorable and exciting.
