With the winter season approaching, the next few months are considered by many as an ideal time for international trips. During this time, several destinations experience pleasant weather with various cultural festivals. One must plan their itinerary with precautions as not all countries are safe for foreign guests. The Indian Government recently advised its citizens to refrain from travelling to Bangladesh due to the ongoing cases of violence in the neighbouring nation. Given that, today, let’s look at the countries you should avoid visiting on your next international trip. They include –
Bangladesh
Bangladesh recently erupted into a state of unrest due to the tense political conditions within the country. There have been several violent demonstrations and clashes in urban areas, including the nation’s capital, Dhaka. The student-led protests due to a shift in government policies have transitioned into widespread violence across the nation.
Israel
The recent assassination of important Hamas and Hezbollah leaders within certain regions of Israel has resulted in panic. It led to Air India cancelling several flights to cities like Tel Aviv. Some airlines are even avoiding the Middle-Eastern nation’s airspace due to the conflict. Hence, travel within the country should be avoided to stay out of trouble.
Ukraine
Visiting Ukraine right now could be extremely dangerous due to their ongoing war with Russia. The country has to deal with frequent missile and drone strikes that target civil infrastructure in populated areas like Kyiv. It has made the situation unpredictable with risks of military attacks and crime. There have also been several reports of foreigners being detained in Russia-occupied areas.
Afghanistan
Ever since the United States Armed Forces withdrew from Afghanistan, the country has been plagued by several issues. The ongoing security turmoil in Afghanistan has led to an increase in crimes and instability. Taliban have seized control of the governance, resulting in violent incidents in the nation.
Syria
Visting Syria on your next international trip could prove to be extremely dangerous due to the ongoing armed conflict, acts of terrorism and civil unrest within the nation. The country has been dealing with a civil war since 2011, resulting in widespread violence and instability. The country is also infested with terrorist military factions including ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
Iran
Another Middle Eastern country on the list, it would be best to avoid Iran on your next international trip. The country has been dealing with protests and unrest for a while, especially for women’s rights. Given the harsh restrictions imposed on women, Iran would be an unwise choice for a vacation.
