A scientific expedition organised into the high Himalayas, dubbed 'Juley Cosmos' (Juley means hello in Ladakhi), is a journey to explore the mysteries of the Universe through the eyes of Indian scientists from India's highest scientific laboratory at an altitude of 4,500 meters in Ladakh's Hanle.
The Department of Science and Technology initially funded the development of the Hanle site. Most of the instruments are situated on Mount Saraswati, locally called Digpa Ratsa Ri which means 'Scorpion's Mountain'. Today, many work here to maximise the output from this harsh and demanding environment.
