Can anyone visit the Hanle observatory?
The visitor centre and the hill are open in the evening; the telescopes themselves are for researchers. The stargazing from the village is superb.

A: Simple homestays and small guesthouses. Hanle is a tiny high-altitude village - come for the sky, not the rooms.
