点评:We met Nate at the Stupa of Enlightenment right at sunset. It gave us the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful sunset along with the tranquility of the location. While the western light was fading, Nate shared stories and facts from the region. The history of the people along with the fascinating geology of the valley helped to add context to the experience. Once the sky darkened enough, Nate prepared the Night Vision Goggles and we each received a set. Of note, the usual limit for these experiences is two people and this limit definitely made a difference for us. We reclined in the provided zero gravity chairs and bundled up in the provided blankets. While we explored the sky and the depth into the stars delivered by the NVGs, Nate continued to share interesting facts and stories pertinent to what we were experiencing. The number of satellites and other moving objects in the sky visible with the NVGs was astounding. As the sunset glow finally diminished in the west, the Milky Way was clearly visible with the naked eye and was even more dramatic with the NVGs. We were fortunate to have a clear sky and no moon. Nate contacted us a few days before our booking and offered a backup day if the weather did not cooperate. The communication was exceptional and the experience was unforgettable. Thank you Nate!
翻译:日落时分,我们在佛塔与Nate见面。我们有机会欣赏美丽的日落和宁静的氛围。西边的光线渐渐消逝,Nate分享了当地的故事和趣闻。当地居民的历史以及山谷迷人的地质构造,为这次体验增添了丰富的背景。天色渐暗后,Nate为我们准备了夜视镜,每人一副。值得注意的是,这类体验通常只限两人,而这个限制对我们来说意义非凡。我们躺在提供的零重力座椅上,裹着提供的毯子。当我们探索夜视镜带来的星空和深邃时,Nate继续分享着与此次体验相关的趣闻和故事。夜视镜在天空中可见的卫星和其他移动物体数量之多令人惊叹。随着西边的晚霞逐渐消散,银河系肉眼可见,在夜视镜的映衬下更加绚丽夺目。我们很幸运,那天天空晴朗,没有月亮。Nate 在我们预订前几天就联系了我们,并告诉我们如果天气不好的话可以安排一个备用日期。沟通非常顺畅,这次体验令人难忘。谢谢 Nate!
