Depart early to avoid city traffic and enjoy a relaxed countryside drive (approx. 3–3.5 hours via NH48 and SH35) with scenic stretches and possible quick photo stops near Neemrana and Alwar.
Stop for a hearty breakfast (local parathas, eggs, chai or continental options) at a clean highway café or the Neemrana Fort area; most cafés are open from 7:00–11:00 and this breaks the drive nicely.
Official check-in time at the Astroport-affiliated property—drop bags, confirm your stargazing booking and any vehicle transfers; typical check-in is 12:00 PM so plan to arrive by then.
Short scenic visit to Siliserh Lake and the lakeside palace for photos, a lakeside walk, and birdwatching; Siliserh is generally open 9:00–18:00 — a peaceful early afternoon stop before the safari.
Enjoy a relaxed lunch at the resort or at a lakeside restaurant offering Rajasthani and continental dishes; resorts typically serve lunch 12:00–15:00 which suits the post-check-in schedule.
Join the afternoon jeep/gypsy safari into Sariska Reserve to look for deer, nilgai, langurs, and possibly tigers — afternoon safari slots commonly start ~15:00–15:30 and run ~2 hours; permits must be booked through the Rajasthan Forest Department or via your resort.
Return to your room to rest and change; a short walk to the Astroport's viewing lawn lets you scout the observing area and charge equipment before nightfall.
Early dinner at the resort or at the Astroport dining area; many events include set dinners or simple Indian and continental options—restaurants typically serve 19:00–21:00 so this timing lines up before the night program.
Main highlight: guided stargazing with multiple telescopes, constellation walks, and astrophotography tips — sessions often run from ~20:30–22:30 depending on conditions; the Astroport team points out planets, clusters, and deep-sky objects under dark rural skies.
Continue casual observing on the Astroport lawn (if permitted) or return to your room; rural skies are excellent for long-exposure photography, and many guests like a short nightcap under the Milky Way.
