1995 India Total Solar Eclipse
An Eclipse at the Desert Camp in India
My third and last eclipse trip with Travel Bug was in 1995. The group toured the central and western parts of India, and viewed the eclipse from a facility called the Desert Camp near Mandawa. It was a fairly short eclipse - only 44 seconds. But well worth it.
