And, this phenomenon is only visible from the continents of Central Asia and Eastern Africa.<\/p>\n<p><em>Good time to be living in India. Even better, if you are in Spiti during the eclipse.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For <strong>stargazers and travelers<\/strong>, the total lunar eclipse is a great opportunity to pack their bags and travel to Spiti Valley to watch this celestial treat.<\/p>\n<h2>Why you should go watch the Lunar Eclipse in Spiti<\/h2>\n<p>While total lunar eclipse is visible from throughout the country, there are three major and hard-to-ignore reasons why you should go all the way to Spiti to observe the Red Moon over the valley:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Spiti Valley is one of the <strong>best darkest sites in India<\/strong> to observe any astronomical activity in the sky. There is no better place than the pitch-dark valleys of Spiti to watch the moon disappear into the Earth\u2019s darkest shadow.<\/li>\n<li>While<strong> other parts of the<\/strong> <strong>country are experiencing monsoons right now<\/strong>, the arid weather of Spiti creates perfect conditions to watch the once-in-a-lifetime event. The eclipse happening in July which is also the best time to visit Spiti Valley is a happy and lucky coincidence for travelers and star-gazers.<\/li>\n<li>Also, the lunar eclipse is starting at midnight when the moon will be at its highest. Therefore, <strong>chances of missing the eclipse<\/strong> from the height of 4,270 meters above the sea level are low.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lunar-eclipse.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-125798\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.traveltriangle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lunar-eclipse.jpg\" alt=\"watching night sky from tent\" width=\"700\" height=\"464\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"imagesource-link\" href=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/9\/8193\/8077900378_baca41b1fd_b.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Suggested Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/traveltriangle.com\/blog\/spiti-valley-in-august\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spiti Valley In August: A Guide For Visiting The Heaven In The North<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Where to watch?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Stargate Observatory, a one-of-its-kind private observatory in Kausani, is organizing a 7-day Astro-Tour to Spiti Valley for those who love astrophotography.<\/p>\n<p>You can also watch the July 2018 total lunar eclipse in Spiti with your naked eyes if you do not wish to join a 7-day tour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eclipse timings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>27 July, 11:54 PM &#8211; The moon starts changing its color<br \/>\n28 July, 01:00 AM &#8211; The moon turns into blood red<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Isn\u2019t this lunar eclipse a spectacular reason to book a <a class=\"bookpackages-link\" href=\"https:\/\/traveltriangle.com\/tour-packages\/spiti?utm_source=Blog_gn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">trip to Spiti<\/a> ?
