The roar of the tigers and the stars shooting along with the lush green surrounding around your luxurious and comfortable stay, is the experience we would like to offer for the Orionid Meteor Shower this October. October’s waxing crescent Moon sets well before local midnight for the peak night of October 20/21 this year. The waxing crescent Moon will less than 4 days old and will set by dinner time for us to leave the skies open for a wonderful observation of the stars and also for the meteors which will rise a little after 10. It means the timing for the observation will be perfect to watch some super fast meteors moving around in the sky.
The shower is predicted to have 20+ meteors per hour visibility which leads to one meteor per 3 minutes. Given the amount of atmospheric disturbance, a rate of 1 meteor per 5 minutes is also not bad and certainly very attractive for the experience one can get seeing so many meteors over night.
Orionids shower are caused due to the debris left behind by Comet Halley during its regular visit to the inner solar system. The Earth pass through the comet debris around 20/21 October every year and hence the peak of the shower occurs on 20/21 October night. Please go through the itinerary below to understand how the program will be carried out.
Please read our COVID-19 Guidelines to understand how we are ensuring your safety while you enjoy the night sky.
