Video angers social media:
“Reveal their identities… show their photos too. Let the world know about them,” suggested an Instagram user. Another added, “It’s high times, hills and mountains are not just looked at as places to get high and drunk or for anyone to ‘find’ themselves. If locals accept you visiting, respect the people and culture. Understand that pahad waali MAGGI is not a dish of ours. Respect the place, tradition and culture and then maybe have it accept you back. There is a reason why tourists are deeply disliked in the hills and beaches.”
