I spent a few weeks trekking trekking around the northern part of India a few years ago, around the foothills of the Himalaya mountain range. Miles from anything, only access is by foot and the only power was available by a generator that ran from 6am-10am and 6pm-10pm. It's amazing what is out there.
What amazed me the most was the number of shooting stars I saw, what I thought was a rare occurrence but if it is dark enough even the smallest particle of dust throws out an amazing glow as it enters our atmosphere.
For those of you in the Southern UK, I highly recommend a camping trip to Durdle Door. The camp site is a few hundred metres from the cliff edge and miles from any light pollution. Amazing views of the nigh sky from there too: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=durdle+door+night+sky&tbm=isch https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=durdle+door+night+sky&tbm=...
