Hidden in nature, our peaceful setting provides the perfect backdrop for stargazing. We offer a unique way to experience the vast beauty of the universe for families, couples, and solo travelers, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Stargazing is more than just a fun activity. It's a journey into the cosmos, a way to connect with nature, and an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of our universe. At Gypsy Soul, we aim to offer this one-of-a-kind experience to our guests, making it an unforgettable part of their stay with us.
Our location, rated as Bortle Scale 4 on the light pollution map, is a gift for stargazing enthusiasts. The Bortle Scale measures the night sky's brightness in a particular location. A lower Bortle Scale, such as 4, means less light pollution, providing clearer, more breathtaking views of celestial objects. Gypsy Soul's elevation of 648 meters offers a distinct advantage over other locations. Higher elevation results in clearer skies with less atmospheric interference. Being situated on a higher ground ensures better visibility, unlike valleys that can trap more local light pollution.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced stargazer, our range of activities will spark your interest. We offer guided stargazing sessions, telescope observations, and educational workshops. See Jupiter, the biggest planet in our solar system, with its colorful winds and the four Galilean moons. Experience Saturn, with its beautiful rings up close. Be captivated by our moon, visible in all its glory, where you can even spot the prominent craters clearly.
The clear skies and minimal light pollution at Gypsy Soul offer exceptional opportunities for astrophotography. Capture stunning images of celestial objects and the Milky Way, creating keepsakes of your cosmic journey that you can cherish forever.
Experience the moon landing of Apollo 11 from Neil Armstrong’s perspective in our exclusive Virtual Reality session. This immersive VR experience, unique to Gypsy Soul, transports you to the moon's surface, standing next to Buzz Aldrin.

At Gypsy Soul, we enhance the stargazing experience by screening Astro-related movies in our open-air cinema. The immersive setting adds to the charm of watching these movies, making your cosmic journey even more engaging and memorable.
Stargazing is just one part of the experience at Gypsy Soul. Complementary activities like live music, games, bonfire, hiking, or karaoke add to your enjoyment. Our comfortable accommodations and amenities allow you to relax and unwind under the starlit sky.
At Gypsy Soul, we have a special treat for our guests: a secret stargazing deck. This hidden gem is a place where, under clear skies, you can observe shooting stars with your naked eyes approximately every five minutes!
The skies in and around our location at Panshet, near Pune, provide a spectacular stage for celestial events such as meteor showers each year. A meteor shower occurs when Earth passes through the debris left by a comet or asteroid. As these small particles enter Earth's atmosphere, they burn up, creating the "shooting stars" you see. With our location away from city lights and clear skies, Gypsy Soul offers an ideal viewpoint for these celestial spectacles.
We take the meteor shower experience a notch higher with our meteor shower camping. Spend the night under the starlit sky, watch the meteors race across, and enjoy the company of fellow stargazers. It's an unforgettable experience that combines the thrill of camping with the magic of a meteor shower.
Stargazing at Gypsy Soul is more than just looking at the stars; it's about embracing the cosmos, finding peace, and connecting with your inner self. So, come and lose yourself in the starry skies, and let the cosmos whisper its ancient stories to you. Make your stay at Gypsy Soul a spectacular stargazing event, where the sky is the limit, and the stars are your companions. So come, gaze at the stars, and let the cosmos reveal its secrets.
