With India experiencing an extended monsoon season, several popular tourist destinations are facing hazardous conditions due to heavy rainfall, floods, and landslides. Here's why you should reconsider traveling to these areas during this time:
Kerala faces frequent flooding and landslides, especially in hill stations like Munnar and Wayanad. Roads are often blocked, making travel difficult and unpredictable.
Coastal regions of Maharashtra, including Mumbai and the Western Ghats, experience heavy rainfall, causing severe waterlogging, flooding, and landslides. Travel in cities is hindered by traffic jams due to waterlogged roads.
Monsoon floods are an annual issue in Assam, particularly around the Brahmaputra River. Large areas are submerged, making road and rail travel dangerous. Attractions like Kaziranga and Manas National Parks are usually closed due to heavy rainfall.
Meghalaya receives some of the heaviest rainfall in the world, with destinations like Cherrapunji and Mawsynram becoming extremely dangerous during the monsoon. Transportation is limited, and the risk of getting stranded in isolated areas is high.
Floods in Bihar, especially in the northern regions, cause rivers to overflow, submerging roads and villages. Safe travel is nearly impossible, with large areas often underwater.
The mountainous terrain of Uttarakhand is prone to landslides and flash floods during the monsoon. Pilgrimage routes, such as those to Kedarnath and Badrinath, are often closed due to dangerous landslides, and swollen rivers make adventure activities hazardous.
The northern hills of West Bengal, including Darjeeling and Kalimpong, are prone to landslides, especially during the monsoon. The Teesta River swells, making river activities dangerous, while the plains, including Kolkata, experience regular flooding and waterlogging.
The hilly regions of Nagaland face regular landslides during the monsoon, cutting off vital routes between towns like Dimapur and Kohima. These landslides often isolate nearby areas, making travel nearly impossible.
While these destinations are known for their beauty, the monsoon season brings significant travel risks, including road blockages, floods, and landslides. It’s advisable to avoid traveling to these areas during this period and plan your trips when weather conditions improve for a safer and more enjoyable experience. Always stay informed of local weather forecasts and travel advisories before finalizing your plans.
