• Planning a monsoon trip?
• Avoid going to these dangerous places
• Take care before traveling

With the onset of monsoons, the hills become green, waterfalls flow and nature lovers come out for sightseeing. However, this charming form of nature can also be dangerous in many places. Heavy rains increase the incidence of landslides, flash floods, road wear and traffic disruptions. So, while planning a trip, not only beauty, but also safety should be given equal importance. Do not ignore the warnings of the Meteorological Department and take the decision to travel only after taking stock of the situation.

Manali, Himachal Pradesh

Landslides and road closures occur frequently in the Manali region during the monsoon due to heavy rains. There is a risk of traffic disruption in the area along the Beas river as well as on the Manali-Leh highway. So it is safer to avoid unnecessary travel during this period.

Chardham and Gangotri Marg, Uttarakhand

As the Chardham Yatra routes pass through high hilly areas, there is always a risk of landslides, rock fall and sudden rise in the water level of rivers during heavy rains. So it is necessary to strictly follow the instructions of the administration.

Lonavala-Khandala, Maharashtra

During the rainy season, the Lonavala-Khandala area opens up with natural beauty. However, the journey can become dangerous due to landslides, rockfalls, water logging and traffic jams on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway.

Wayanad, Kerala

Avoid traveling to Kerala during monsoons. Periyar and Pamba rivers in Wayanad are particularly prone to flooding. Rivers like Bharatpuzha and Kabini also flood during monsoons, so you should avoid this area. Floods occur almost every year in the low-lying areas of Kerala.

Hilly regions of North East India

In some hilly areas of Meghalaya and North East, heavy rainfall increases the occurrence of landslides. Many roads are closed temporarily, so tourists should check the weather forecast and the instructions of the local administration.

Take care before traveling

Before planning a trip, check the latest weather forecast, postpone the trip if necessary and have an alternative plan for emergencies. If the local administration issues a red or orange alert, the safest option is to avoid tourism. Don’t ignore weather warnings for safe travel.
