Kathmandu, Nepal. Or as you get closer to Mt. Everest, in Tiger Tops. Never seen more, and brighter stars in my life, and I have been to all but two of these places on this list. No light pollution and you are 20,000 ft. above sea level.

this view is so pretty because there is no city lights out there at all because i have learned so much my self about this when i was young age so i saw some in payson in state of arizona that's why i saw those there for summer vacations camping just about 30 miles out of payson area so its still so pretty out there to see at night just like that so it will happens when you see those every night for a whol year or each year i am not sure about this so thats all i know about this

There is no question that many sites in the southwestern U.S. have incredible night skies, especially away from the bright lights of major cities. I find it interesting that one of the best places for stargazing in this area is Bryce Canyon National Park in southwestern Utah. Not only are the skies there very dark and clear, but the park arguably has the most developed astronomy program for visitors of any unit in the National Park Service. I have volunteered in that program for three years and have visited many National Parks and have had chance to observe under their night skies, and none have exceeded Bryce Canyon. For those interested in night sky observing in U.S. National Parks, you may want to consider the book Stars Above, Earth Below - A Guide to Astronomy in the National Parks by Tyler Nordgen. Even if you can't get to the U.S. southwest or similar, if you can find a area that is dark the view of the night sky can still be amazing.

I moved to the Morongo Basin area (High Desert) in California 2 years ago. With exception to the small area shopping centers, the majority of folks comply with not polluting the night sky with outdoor light. If you are new to the area, a neighbor might drop by and inform you - perhaps with suggestions about using other light receptacles. Try the Joshua Tree National Park. Long-term residents call it the 'Monument' which I've grown to believe is more appropriate. The night skies out here are exquisite.

But thanks for sharing the other locations with us.
