Partial eclipses of the sun pale in comparison to the overwhelming spectacle of a total solar eclipse! On Wednesday, 22 July 2009, a total eclipse of the sun will be visible from within a narrow corridor, which traverses half the Earth. Come to India or China and witness the incredible Solar Eclipse with us!

India or China, the choice is yours!

The solar eclipse will start off the West coast of India and travel north east passing over Varanasi and Darjeeling lasting for a duration of 4 minutes 02 seconds, then onward through Bhutan and Bangladesh till it reaches China. China will experience the very best visual of the impressive total solar eclipse. Passing over Chongqing, the great Yantze with its three Gorges and the coastline of Shanghai viewers have the advantage of being positioned directly beneath.
