Looking up at the stars is the best way to get close to nature and become one with nature. Let go of all the trivialities and impetuousness of life. Find a quiet place, feel the shock brought by the sky above your head in the night sky, let your mind return to nature, accept the baptism of primitiveness, and find the meaning of life...
There are many ideal places for stargazing on the ball. Factors such as low light pollution and empty field of view make it easier to see stars in these places than elsewhere. Here are some of the best places in the world to see the stars.
1. Sagarmatha National Park, Nepal
The country has a small population, is not very modern, has limited light pollution, and is high above the ground. Sagarmatha National Park in the Himalayas is one of the best places for stargazing in Asia.
2. Sinan National Park, Thailand
Although lesser known due to being off the beaten track in northern Thailand, Si Nan is the perfect place to enjoy the clear view of the night sky. Near the South River, it's also the perfect spot for amateur astronomy stargazing.
3. Nikko Senjogahara, Japan
Japan is ideal for stargazing, and its eastern location means it's also one of the earliest places the sun will rise. Nikko Senjogahara, located between Gunma and Fukushima prefectures in northern Japan, is definitely worth a visit for astronomy enthusiasts.
4. Rub'al Khali in Arabia
Also known as the Empty Area, it is a larger part of the Arabian Desert and spans several countries. Throughout its history, the desert has been home to many different adventurers and nomads, and it's also the perfect place to spend an evening under the stars.
5. The European Alps
To say the Alps is a lie because they are so big and spread across 8 different countries. But combining high altitude with clear skies has always been a winning formula for writers and astronomy enthusiasts, and for that, there's no better place than the Alps.
6. Connemara, Ireland
Ireland has many picturesque places, but none are more attractive than Connemara on Ireland's west coast. It's just as beautiful there during the day as it is at night, and it's also an ideal spot for stargazing.
7. Tuscany, Italy
Although this region in central Italy is best known as the home of Florence, it's also one of the best places in the country for stargazing. Especially in southern Tuscany, where there is almost no light pollution, there are only starry skies.
8. Tenerife, Spain
Tenerife is known for its vibrant nightlife. At the same time, it is also a great place to visit for stargazing, as its sky often sparkles like the night in a busy modern city. One of the largest mountains in Tenerife, Montaña de Guajara is a gathering place for astronomers.
9. Galloway Forest Park, Scotland, UK
Galloway Forest Park is one of the best stargazing spots in the UK. Galloway Forest Park, Scotland during the day is a place covered by dense forests and rolling hills; at night, it is starry and very beautiful, so on November 17, 2009, the park was awarded the "Dark Night Park" by the International Dark Night Association Honorary title and designated as the best place in the world to see the stars.
10. Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, New Zealand
Aoraki Mackenzie is a dark reserve on Mount Cook, part of New Zealand's South Island. Clear skies and high altitude make it one of the best stargazing spots on mainland Australia.
