A viral video showing the present condition of Kempty Falls near Mussoorie has triggered widespread debate online, with social media users expressing shock over what many described as uncontrolled commercialisation, poor urban planning and the rapid deterioration of one of Uttarakhand’s most famous tourist attractions.
The clip, which has been widely shared on X, shows the once-scenic Kempty Falls surrounded by tightly packed concrete structures, half-finished buildings, shops, eateries and tourist facilities crowding the natural landscape. While the waterfall itself continues to gush down the hills of Tehri Garhwal, viewers said the surrounding area now looks dramatically different from the picturesque mountain destination many remembered from earlier visits.
