Holi Is the Worst Festival to Travel, I Will Tell You Why!

Tripoto

Holi is nothing but a commotion! A commotion of irritatingly sweet-smelling gujiyas, tons of colours and large crowds! The festival might be a cultural extravaganza that intrigues foreigners, but if you have experienced this 'hullabaloo' first hand, you too must be unsure. After all, doesn't it, in a way, bring out the worst in everyone, leaving nowhere you can escape to?

Imagine being surrounded with aggressive humans carrying chemicals to scar your skin or damage your scalp. Who wants to be a part of Holi or even travel around this dangerous festival?

Travelling during this festival can be the worst thing ever. Don't believe me? See these pictures yourself:
