Goa is all about the beachside. But, have you ever wondered how the night sky looks, here, in this holiday state?

With light pollution being high in Goa, it can be quite challenging to get a clear view of the night sky.

Hence, the best place to view the night sky is probably Curdi, in South Goa, as the light pollution levels in this village are very low.

From Curdi, some parts of the Milky Way galaxy can even be seen with the naked eye.

For stargazers, the best time to visit the village is during the summer months, when the village emerges from the water, and the sky is clear.
