This recent weather phenomenon prompted the Switzerland travel advisory to issue cautioning measures and also to make sure there is no unnecessary travel to the flood-affected areas. The U.S. Department of State and the Government of Canada both have advised reconsideration of the travel plans to Switzerland until the dire situation stabilizes.
Swiss President Viola Amherd referred to the situation as ‘SHOCKING’ publicly on X and there are continuous search operations by Swiss Army personnel for the missing individuals and evacuate the affected population.

“I did my first solo trip in India with WanderOn. Initially I was sceptical about their Meghalaya-Kaziranga trip as I didn't have any prior experience with them but the team assured me that it's going to be one of the best experiences of my life.

“In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

“After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good. Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well. Lastly, our trip captains Priyasha and Rachit managed the entire trip very well and were so fun and made our trip an experience worth remembering.
