India Solar Eclipse
Next Solar Eclipse in India 15 Jan 2010
Summary of India Solar Eclipse |

| Tour Name | Tour Length | Tour Begins | Price From |
On January 15th 2010 an annular solar eclipse will be passing through a narrow corridor of the earth and creating a sight to behold for those in its path. It will be the LONGEST annular eclipse in the 3rd millennium – the duration will not be exceeded until the year 3043! It will be visible across Africa, the Indian Ocean, India, Sri Lanka and South East Asia and we are offering special holidays in many of these areas to witness this unusual occurrence.
The Moon's path begins in Africa and passes through several countries including Kenya where we will be able to watch the eclipse by beautiful Lake Nakuru – a real chance to commune with nature! Here the eclipse will last for almost 9 minutes.
After leaving Africa, the path crosses the Indian Ocean and the central path then continues into Asia through into India. Although the central path just misses the mainland it will still be a spectacular sight with the partial eclipse lasting for about 10 minutes. The path continues on to China where you can view the natural phenomenon in Dali on our Eclipse on Yunnan tour, or in Chongquing our Yin and Yangzte tour where it will last for just under 9 minutes.
IAH holidays provided fantastic tours to the 2006 total solar eclipse in Turkey, the 2008 eclipse in Russia & China, and the 2009 eclipse in China and India.
Will you choose to visit India to witness an eclipse? You’ll have a chance to view the eclipse with us in beautiful Kumarakom on our 9 day Eclipse on Kerala tour, and in lush Alleppey (between Trivandrum & Cochin) on our Kerala Backwaters Eclipse bolt-on. Places on our 2010 eclipse tours are strictly limited so please book early.
