Some can be seen leaning out of the windows and sunroof, while a few are reportedly without shirts. Two individuals appear to be standing or dancing on top of the moving vehicle.The video also shows another man sitting partially outside the vehicle on the side door while the car remains in motion. The group appears to be celebrating and recording the moment, seemingly disregarding the dangers associated with such behaviour."Kya fantasy

hai ye kapde khol ke gaadi par ghoomne ki, wo bhi pahadon mein? Ek baar ke liye beach area mein bhi samajh aa jaye, but mountains? Look at the other tourists around, local women are moving nearby too. What kind of shamelessness is this? This behaviour is nowhere to be defended. A few such people end up tarnishing the image of an entire state.," the video was captioned on X.

The footage quickly sparked backlash online, with many social media users condemning the group's actions as reckless and irresponsible. Several pointed out that hill stations such as Kasol are known for their narrow and winding roads, making such stunts particularly hazardous.Users also voiced concern over a growing trend of tourists engaging in dangerous acts to gain attention on social media, often without considering the consequences.Many commenters noted that the behaviour posed risks not only to those involved but also to other motorists, tourists and local residents in the area. Others argued that such incidents harm the reputation of popular travel destinations and reflect poorly on responsible visitors.
