Black&White Desert- Geminids Meteor Shower

Day 1

Welcome to the Desert, embrace the darkness!

The day starts real early as we meet at 6:30 am in the morning at our meeting point. The road takes around 5 hours.

As soon as we arrive, we check into our lodge where we drop our non camping essentials off.
After having lunch, We head on our first day of adventure of the day and start by visiting the famous crystal mountain where we'll have the time to roam around and freely explore this geological wonder.

Afterwards we'll head out to the final destination of the day, the old white desert, where we will get into position to enjoy the peak of the best fireworks nature has to offer, the Geminids meteor shower. 

Prepare yourself for a mind blowing celestial fireworks display, the Geminids meteor shower is the largest one of the year and this year is the best year in a decade as it's lined up with a new moon.
Imagine a pitch black sky speckled with stars with more bright & colourful meteors streaking across the night sky than you've ever seen.

Pack a cozy blanket because you're going to want to snuggle up and sleep under the stars this night so you don't miss a single meteor!

Day 2

Wahat adventure continues

After Breakfast we continue our adventure as we delve deeper into the desert until we reach the amazing Agabat Desert. Then we to explore the Black Desert. It got its name after years and years of erosion left it with a layer of black powder and rocks. Then, we delve into the Black Mountain where we will be able to enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding area. We then head to the salt lake for sunset before heading back to our lodge. 

Tonight we'll also have the opportunity to do some more meteor watching at the end of the day because of how dark and secluded the Wahat is.
