I always wondered how the universe looked like. I studied about it in the books. In 5th grade, my teacher introduced me to the Milky Way Galaxy. It sounded fascinating than. No one told me that you can actually witness it with your naked eyes and that too in your own country.

It all changed when I went on a trek to Hampa Pass with Indiahikes and Tripoto and I got a chance to witness it with my naked eyes. It seemed like a dream, a never ending dream which was way better than any sci-fi movie. That was the experience you can't really put in words.

I want everyone to witness it so I am trying to note down some places below where you can spot the Milky way yourself and realize that how minute you are in this universe.
