Leave early to avoid city traffic and enjoy a relaxed drive (approx. 3–3.5 hours via NH48 and SH35). The route passes Neemrana and Alwar—good spots for quick stops.
Stop at a clean highway café or Neemrana Fort area for a hearty breakfast before the countryside stretch; good options include local dhabas or cafés open 7:00–11:00. This breaks the drive and gives energy for the day.
Arrive, check into your accommodation at or near Astroport Sariska and drop bags—Astroport often coordinates its events with nearby stays. Confirm your booking and any included meals or pick-up services.
Siliserh Lake is a scenic reservoir with a lakeside palace (now a hotel/spot for photos) and tranquil walks; typically open 9:00–18:00—great for a relaxed stroll and birdwatching in the early afternoon.
Lunch at your resort or the Astroport café serving simple regional and continental dishes; convenient and saves time for the afternoon safari (cafés usually serve 12:00–15:00).
Join the afternoon jeep/gypsy safari inside Sariska (forest gate timings typically have an afternoon slot starting around 15:00–15:30 and ending ~17:30). Safaris are the best way to see wildlife—book permits in advance through the Rajasthan Forest Department or your resort.
Return to the Astroport/resort, freshen up, and take a brief walk to the on-site viewing area to prepare for the night program; afternoons can be warm — a rest helps before the evening.
Early dinner at the Astroport or resort restaurant—many Astroport events include set dinners or picnic-style meals; confirm serving times (typically 19:00–21:00) so you’re ready for the stargazing session.
Main event: guided stargazing with telescopes, constellation talks, and astrophotography tips—sessions often run 20:30–22:30 or later depending on the event. This is the highlight—clear rural skies here offer excellent views of the Milky Way, planets, and deep-sky objects. Book seats in advance; confirm the exact start time for the night you attend.
After the guided session you can continue casual observing if the Astroport keeps an open lawn, or return to your room. Rural nights are quiet—ideal for long-exposure photography or a nightcap under the stars.
