Even though the evacuation efforts and road opening work have gained pace in rain-affected areas in Himachal Pradesh, thousands of tourists are still stuck at various places in rain-battered Himachal Pradesh. Incessant rains continuing for the past few days have wreaked havoc in the hill state of Himachal Pradesh killing nearly 100 people and swept away hundreds of roads, bridges and houses.

The rains have wreaked havoc in Himachal Pradesh triggering landslides, causing power disruption, blocking roads, and damaging bridges. Tourists were stranded in parts of the hill state. With over 850 roads still blocked, a large number of tourists have extended their stay in accommodations where they are residing or waiting for the situation to get better.

A large number of tourists are stuck in various parts of Kullu and Lahaul following landslides and flash floods leading to the blocking of roads. They were being lodged in hotels, rest houses, homestays, and other holiday destinations. Several hotels and tourism units offered free stay and food to the stranded tourists and shared the addresses and contact numbers of their hotels on social networking sites.
