Sanjay Gandhi National Park’s initiative — a one-night holiday in premium tents inside the forest, complete with an evening spent stargazing and a tiger and lion safari, attracts visitors in week one
The stargazing, night camping, night safari, bird watching and landscape painting initiative that was started by Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) authorities is gaining publicity with many people approaching the park authorities with requests. The authorities are getting frequent calls also and in order to reach to more people, they have decided to take help of social networking sites.
Star gazing and nature trails have become very popular with people who don’t want to step out of the city to admire nature’s bounty
Speaking to sunday mid-day, SGNP Director Vikas Gupta said, “The initiative that we started two weeks ago is fast gaining popularity. As vacations are on, many people have approached us with requests that they would like to come along in groups.”

The programme starts at 6.30 pm on Saturday and goes on till 11 am on Sunday. It includes a presentation on stars and the solar system, a nature trail in the night, night camping, birding trail in the morning and tiger and lion safari.
