Rishikesh Waterfalls: There are many beautiful but risky waterfalls around Rishikesh, where vigilance is necessary in the rain. Their beauty attracts, but going here in the rain is full of risk.
Rishikesh is not only famous for yoga and spirituality, but the waterfalls here also attract a lot of tourists. During the rainy season, when there is greenery all around and the waterfalls start flowing at their full speed, then their beauty is made. But this beauty proves to be dangerous many times. When people move forward in search of thrills instead of being vigilant.
The water level of the springs increases rapidly during the rainy days. The flow becomes so fast that even normal visible currents can become dangerous. Tracks filled with slippery paths and mud from above become a big challenge for pedestrians. The sudden floods in many cases have taken the lives of people.
Every year there are many such accidents in Rishikesh where young and tourists fall prey to the accident while taking photographs, taking selfies or bathing under the waterfall. A little carelessness and desire to ‘do something special’ often proves to be fatal. Despite repeated warnings on behalf of NDRF and local police, people ignore the rules.
The young adventure sits on a risky stunt in search of adventure filled content. In the process of taking a perfect shot for Instagram or YouTube, many people go very close to the springs or stand in dangerous poses, causing severe injury or death when the balance deteriorates.
During the monsoon, the administration issues warnings from time to time and sometimes a temporary restriction is also imposed on going near some tracks or waterfalls. But some people do not take these warnings seriously. It is necessary for your safety, not any formality.
If you only want to enjoy natural beauty, then it is better to see the waterfalls from a distance. The roar of water falling from the height and the greenery surrounding it is enough to fascinate.
Every year many people across the country lose their lives for only one picture, a video or a little fun. Take precautions for yourself and your family, follow the safety rules and explain to others that even a little negligence can take a huge price.
