Stranded in the Forest: When a Navigation App Leads You Astray

A group of men using a navigation app got stranded in a dense Kerala forest during heavy rain. Rescued by fire services, they were attending a function in Nilambur. Their car got stuck in a marshy pit frequented by wildlife. Towed to safety, they continued their journey.

In an unexpected turn of events, a popular navigation app led a group of travelers astray, taking them deep into a dense forest in Kerala, where heavy rain compounded their woes.

The group of five men, on their way to Nilambur from Kalpetta, followed a forest path marked by the app, only to find themselves stuck amid heavy rains within the intimidating forest widely known for wildlife, including elephants and boars.

Thanks to a prompt response from the local Fire and Rescue Services, the stranded passengers and their immobilized vehicle were towed to safety, allowing them to continue their journey unscathed.
