‘The universe has opened up for us’: meet the astro-ambassadors who welcome stargazers to the Himalayas
A new tourism initiative in India's first dark sky reserve is transforming the community of Hanle by creating job opportunities that allow locals to stay connected to their culture. As visitors gather to stargaze under the stunning Himalayan skies, they are welcomed by astro-ambassadors like 28-year-old Tsering Dolkar, who share their passion for astronomy. This initiative not only boosts local employment but also fosters a deeper appreciation for the natural beauty and heritage of the region, making it a win-win for both the community and tourists.
