Security experts, the U.S. State Department, and the Canadian and British governments are not advising travelers to avoid going there.
But Australia says: Stay away.
"The Mumbai terrorist attacks had -- and still have -- a very low likelihood of happening," says Bruce McIndoe, president of iJet, a security consulting company in Annapolis, Md. The Mumbai attacks changed "the perceptions of risk," but "India is no more risky than it was before," says Jake Stratton, director of India operations for Control Risks, a London-based security consultant.
In an alert posted on its website Dec. 4, the State Department said there are "heightened security concerns" in India and advised travelers "to maintain a high level of vigilance." It did not issue a "travel warning," which it does when travelers should avoid a country.
The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, though, advises travelers "to reconsider" any need to travel to India.
