The powerful tsunami (a tidal wave, caused by an undersea earthquake) that hit the Southern and Eastern coasts of India, on Sunday 26-Dec-2004, has been a cause of concern for many tourists.

The sudden waves and flooding have affected coastal regions of the states of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala and the Union Territories of Pondicherry and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The work of relief and rehabilitation has begun in the affected areas.

While we at TravelersHub.com empathize with those who have been affected by nature's fury, we would like to assure visitors to India that the other regions of these coastal states are not affected. The tourist destinations of South India including Bangalore, Hyderabad and the backwaters of Kerala are also safe and unaffected by the tsunami. All air, rail and road links in India are functioning normally. You can safely travel to India with TravelersHub.com
