Hi,

There would be lot of changes that can occur in the body during pregnancy. It is not an absolute contraindication to travel to these kind of locations but it depends on your present health condition, associated problems of pregnancy etc. I personally suggest to avoid unless it is very much necessary.

Take Care!
