Oversea Star Gazing Location

Post by Laughing Stars »

I am looking for the place where we can see the milky way?
- Easy to access by car
- Within 100km away from Singapore
- Accommodation equipped with a broad band Internet connection nearby
- Ideally, near the mountain, not close to the sea.
Do anyone has a suggestion?

Hi

Im afraid there aren't any areas that are truly mountainous within 100km of SG (and have broadband). To go to a dark site with stars and the Milky way , some "disconnection" from the modern world is needed.

Regards,

I miss the place where stars shine bright, to gaze upwards in awe of the sight
