Hi - we are planning 4 weeks in North India - Varanasi, Delhi, Perhaps Shimla, then Udaipur, etc etc. Arriving 9th Oct in Mumbai.

We plan to stay in budget / mid range hotels - will we be bothered by Mozzies? They are usually more keen on my wife than me for some reason!

Should we take mosquito nets with us?

Just buy a plug in killer (available all over INdia) and make sure your room is well sealed and you should be ok, if you have AC in most places that will also keep them at bay.  You'll get bit a few times with or without a net and its always difficult to find somewhere to hang it, i you do use one then make sure you haven't trapped the little buggers inside it like I did in Sri Lanka and got eaten!!
Smoked for 25 years but now not smoked since 13th Jan. Am I now a non smoker, a smoker who doesn't smoke or an ex smoker? Do I have to even have a title, can I not just be a 'me'? Has not smoking made me crazy?, probably!

Agreed. Buy a mosquito "mat" or "all out" at a pharma or local store, that plugs in. Odomos works (cream) and doesn't seem too chemically. Mosquitoes LOVE me... so hopefully your wife will keep them distracted for a bit. *grinn*
