Six villages across Madhya Pradesh are being developed as dedicated astro-tourism destinations, using their low light pollution and clear night skies. Visitors can experience stargazing, astrophotography, guided astronomy sessions and rural cultural activities. The initiative covers villages in Dhar, Chhindwara, Betul, Narmadapuram, Damoh and Umaria, creating new tourism opportunities for local communities while diversifying Madhya Pradesh’s destination offerings.
