People in India are fond of travelling. In the last few years, people have spent a lot on travel and tourism. Be it cold or summer or monsoon, people go out for a walk. Every tourist place has its own distinct season. The mountains become green during rainy days. Mild foggy weather attracts people towards itself, but do you know that the hobby of traveling during monsoon can also be very risky. In this season, incidents of landslides in the mountains, floods at many places, cloud bursts and road breakages occur at some places. In such a situation, you should be very careful. You should not visit these places during monsoon.
Where should one not visit in monsoon?
Mussoorie- You should avoid going to the mountains during the rainy season. At present, incidents of landslides occur at many places in Uttarakhand. Mountains come crashing down and you can get stuck due to broken roads. Rivers are in spate and incidents of cloud bursts also occur at many places. Therefore, you should completely avoid going to places like Mussoorie, Nainital, Kedarnath, Badrinath, Joshimath.
Kullu Manali- The risk of landslides also increases in the mountains of Himachal. The routes from Kullu to Manali are blocked due to debris coming from the mountains. In the last few years, cases of floods have also been seen in Himachal. Hundreds of people die every year due to rain and cloud bursts in Kullu, Bilaspur and Manali. In such a situation, these hill stations can prove dangerous for tourists. You should think before going out in this season.
Darjeeling- Darjeeling situated in the lap of mountains is very beautiful. Its beauty increases further during rainy days. But visiting Darjeeling in this season can be dangerous. Teesta river is in spate during rainy days. The speed of the river flowing through the mountains was such that it washed away the bridges, villages and roads coming in its way. During monsoon, the roads on the way to Darjeeling are closed due to landslides.
Wayanad- One should avoid visiting Kerala during monsoon. Wayanad: The risk of floods and storms increases significantly here. Periyar and Pamba rivers cause floods in Kerala. Rivers like Bharatpuzha and Kabini also swell during the rains. Therefore you should avoid going here. Flood situation occurs almost every year in the low-lying areas of Kerala.
Other places- You should also avoid going to North East states during monsoon. The risk of floods increases in Assam during the rainy season. At the same time, floods remain prevalent in Arunachal Pradesh also. One should also avoid going to the sea shore or coastal area. Problems start increasing in Mumbai also during rainy days. Therefore, do not go to such places where there is excessive rain.
