Dark Sky Reserves in Asia & Australasia
Would you believe us if we told you that you could have a sky full of stars right here, earthside, without jetting off into outer space? That’s not all – you don’t even need to fly to the far Northern Hemisphere. Let’s cut to the chase: here’s where you can find the blackest, clearest skies for the ultimate stargazing experience at these Dark Sky Reserves near Singapore.
But before we get into it, one thing to note is that virtually all of these locations are pretty remote, and require a fair bit of travelling to get to – necessary, because you’ll want to be as far away from civilisation and its light pollution as possible.
