Too Dangerous To Visit

10 Surreal Places In India That Are Too Dangerous To Visit

Disclaimer: This blog post is not meant to discourage tourism in any 

manner. In fact, the very purpose of this article is to raise awareness 

of the unbelievably gorgeous places in India that are out of

 our easy reach.

In spite of being bestowed with immense natural beauty, some places 

in India can’t be visited without having a dagger hanging over your head.

 The reasons may vary but the restraints are the same and that is

 what makes them even more intriguing.

So, here’s a list of the deadliest places in India that 

are spellbindingly gorgeous:

1. Aksai Chin, Jammu and Kashmir

Aksai Chin is a ceasefire line, one that separates the Indian-controlled

 state of J&K from the Chinese-controlled area. It lies further to the east 

and is known as the Line of Actual Control (LAC). It is also referred to 

as one of the most dangerous places in the world.

The infamous LAC passes through the famous Pangong Tso Lake of Ladakh.

 Need I say more about how beautiful this place is?

2. Silent Valley National Park, Kerala

Due to a recent Maoist attack at Silent Valley National Park in Kerala there 

has been a considerable decline in the tourist influx. The tropical evergreen

 forests of the national park is bestowed with unspoilt natural beauty.

3. Chambal River Basin, Madhya Pradesh

The unmatched beauty of Chambal has been long reigned by some

 of India’s most infamous outlaws, who also seemed to have fancied

 the creativity of Bollywood movie makers since a long time. However, 

the danger of falling prey to the regional dacoits is still quite possible

 and hence it’s usually avoided by travellers.

4. Manas National Park, Assam

You may find it hard to believe that a highly promoted wildlife sanctuary

 is also a place where terrorist activities have taken place but it’s true.

 Back in 2011, 6 WWF officials have been kidnapped by Bodo militants

 from Manas National Park. Government is still trying hard to keep peace 

and promote tourism of the wildlife sanctuary which is undoubtedly one 

of the most beautiful forest reserve in India.

5. Tura, Meghalaya

Tura is all about vibrant tribes, picturesque landscapes, gushing waterfalls,

 eerie limestone caves and sadly enough, terrorism. This little town in 

Meghalaya has been the victim of some of the most notorious terrorist 

organisations of Northeast since quite some time now making it a 

dangerous place for travellers.

6. Haflong, Assam

An enchanting town in the heart of NC Hills in Assam, Haflong faces

 major hindrance in its tourism sector by militants of

 various terrorist organisations.

7. Bastar, Chattisgarh

Home of the Indian Niagara Falls, Chitrakoot, Bastar is a district

 in Chhattisgarh with rampant Naxalite activities. The entire 

district is laden with places of enchanting natural beauty but 

unfortunately it’s also one of the primary places falling in 

the red corridor.

8. Phulbani, Odisha

Some 200 km away from Bhubaneswar in Odisha this splendorous

 little town is located boasting of charming waterfalls and picturesque

 landscapes. It is another place that falls in the red corridor of 

India affected by Maoists.

9. Nicobar Islands

Unlike the Andamans, the Nicobar Islands are untouched and pristine. 

The forests are lush and the beaches are surreal beyond explanation. 

However, foreigners would require passes to enter the Islands and no

 visitor is allowed to enter the tribal belts unless for some special purposes

 like research. And even for that one will have to go 

through rigorous formalities.

10. Barren Islands, Andaman

The only active volcano in India is located in the Barren Island of Andaman

 and Nicobar. You can see red-hot lava and smoke erupting from the mouth

 of the volcano for a distance inside the safety of a small ship. However, 

no one is allowed to get any closer to the hill due to safety reasons.
