Kerala Travel Safety. Heavy rains in Kerala risk of landslide, alert at hill station

Due to heavy rains, there is a danger of landslides in many beautiful places in Kerala. Recently, two incidents of landslip have come to light near Munnar, the famous hill station in Kerala. The first decline took place at 10 pm on Saturday night in which a delivery truck got caught in the rubble, in which the driver died. A few hours later, late night, the heavy flow of debris and soil was seen for the second time. Both these incidents occurred near the old government college on the Kochi-Dhanushkodi National Highway, causing serious concern about the possible security flaws in the local administration. Let’s know when it is safe to go to Kerala and what is the condition here…

Munnar’s condition is also worrying, if you are planning to go here, then stop a little. Hill areas like Idukki and Wayanad are also not safe. The forest area Ponmudi and Agastyamalai are also quite famous among tourists, where it is not yet safe to go. The bumpy region around Kottayam is also threatened. The land base is weakened during heavy and continuous rains at these places, causing soil, rock and debris to fall down rapidly. This closes the road on the roads, traffic disrupted and can create a seriously dangerous situation for travelers.

Do not pay these things before travel

1. If you are planning to travel before or after the monsoon, then definitely see the alerts of administration like Meteorological Department (IMD) and local updates.
2. Do not travel at night, it increases the danger.
3. If possible, check the path from the local travel agent there, or take the condition of the road and the condition of the research team.
4. Do not always overseas and control the speed of the vehicle in a dangerous turn or height area.
5. Keep the escape route and emergency numbers during the journey.

The state of Kerala is called “God’s Own Country” and its greenery, backwater, hill stations and Ayurvedic remedies are famous worldwide. But it is fun to roam here only when the weather is favorable and there is no risk of rain. The time from October to March is considered the safest and enjoyable to visit Kerala. During this time the weather is pleasant, cold and devoid of moisture. Light sunlight during the day and cold air at night gives tourists a different experience. This time is excellent to enjoy hill stations and backwater destinations like Munnar, Thekkadi, Wayanad and Alleppi. Also, trekking, boating, houseboat stay and beach activities can also be done comfortably in this season. The freshness and greenery after the monsoon is also seen at this time, which makes your journey even more memorable. Roads are clean, there is no risk of landslides and it becomes easy to reach all tourist places.
