The video immediately took over social media, prompting a wave of reactions. 'The only way we can get rid of tourists from Doon and Mussorie! I'm sure the animals have had enough of it too!!' a user wrote. 'Snake scared itself. Must be thinking, how did I land among the sinners,' another user commented.

According to Euttarnachal, Kempty Falls was the prime location for tea parties organised by British officers. At a height of 4500 ft, the waterfall is located 15 km from Mussoorie. The tourist spot also offers a bustling shopping lane selling handcrafted items, handloom shawls, local food, and a cable car ride experience. Tourists gather at a pool area just before the waterfall.
Meanwhile, a video of a snake coming out of the AC vent of a car, while the car owner was driving, emerged on social media recently. The photos posted by the man showed the snake casually peeking out from the air-conditioning vent of his Mazda.
