Hi. We are two french tourists visiting Rajasthan in October, on a private tour, with our driver and his car. We’ll be in Jaipur from 26th in the afternoon till 28th in the morning. I have been in a astronomy club in France for more than 10 years and very much interested in astronomy. I will visit Jantar Mantar for the second time (with a guide I hope). I wondered if there is a astronomy club in Jaipur and if it were possible to observe with them, if by chance they do on 26th or 27th evenings.
Same for Jaisalmer, from 22nd to 25th. Thanks for your help ! Best regards. Isabelle CADOUX
