If you are planning a spontaneous vacation, or prepping for an upcoming trip, here are a few destinations in India and across the world that are facing natural, geopolitical or health concerns, making it hard for travellers to explore them. Geopolitical Concerns Iran: The Indian government on Wednesday issued a travel advisory to all Indian citizens amid the war-like situation between Iran and Israel, urging citizens to avoid non-essential travel. "We are closely monitoring the recent escalation in security situation in the region.
Indian nationals are advised to avoid all non-essential travel to Iran. Those currently residing in Iran are requested to remain vigilant and stay in contact with the Indian Embassy in Tehran," the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in a statement. Natural Disasters Nepal: Nepal is facing severe floods, landslides, and heavy rainfall, causing widespread havoc.
In response, India issued an advisory and shared helpline numbers. TV footage showed police rescuers retrieving 16 bodies from two buses swept away by a landslide near Kathmandu a few days ago. As of last Monday, at least 192 people had died, and 32 remained missing after two days of heavy rains.
The Nepalese Home Ministry reported that security agencies, including the Army and Police, have rescued around 4,500 people affected by the disaster. Health Concerns Africa: The escalating Mpox outbreak in Africa has prompted a global health emergency. The Africa CDC declared its first-ever Publ.
