Sikkim to hill stations: traffic & overcrowding harming fragile ecosystems

[Darshan]

[Manav]

It's not just Sikkim anymore. Tourists are going everywhere in huge numbers. Look at Himachal or Uttarakhand - their attractions are packed, traffic jams are endless. The situation is worsening and putting a lot of pressure on the mountain environment, which isn't built for such footfall.

I guess this is what happens when people keep posting 'most underrated, most unvisited places' on social media.

[Rajat]

Now even an ordinary person can't afford to travel, haha.

[Rahul]

This really puts the Indian janta into perspective.

[Jai]

People are flocking to hidden gems that YouTubers recommend.

[Sagar]

These spots need a tourist tax or permits or something; it's just too much overtourism.

I thought AI would take everyone's job, but clearly people can still afford vacations.

[Gauri]

I blame the influencers.

[Siddharth]

There's no public transport, so everyone brings their own car to the hills. What's the point? Impose a high-priced permit on private vehicles and promote local transport.

[Usha]

Why are all the cars white?
