Disclaimers-

-Stargazing is a activity dependent on Nature. While we take care that we organize events on days that the chances of rains and clouds are minimal but in case the skies do get clouded over, we will try to enjoy the camp as much as possible but a refund will not be possible.

-Participation is confirmed only after a full payment is received. part payments are not allowed, we don’t accept cash.
