    BuzzinTrips' Responsible Travel Alert

    Love the mountains? Protect them too!

    While hill stations are summer magnets, monsoon (July-Sept) brings landslides, blocked roads, and ecological damage. We avoid promoting hilly travels during rains because:

    🌧️ Dangerous roads = Risky journeys
    🗑️ Tourist litter harms fragile ecosystems
    🌿 Let the hills breathe & recover after peak season

    Our Plea to Travellers: Carry a trash bag - Leave only footprints! Avoid plastic - Use reusable bottles. Respect local culture & wildlife - Travel kindly.
