We are visiting Calcutta and Delhi in April or May to bring home our baby girl,we won't be doing much sightseeing at all and we r staying in April or May in nice hotels. Would u suggest that we need to get the Malaria pills?

But you should check the malaria website. I think this one may help http://www.malariahotspots.co.uk. --- "So many places, so little time" ((*_*)) Reply    Reply with quote    Contact mistybleu   citybell2 Joined: Feb 06 Points: 158 Posts: 18 Posted: 2010-03-22 08:17:00    April and May are the hottest months in India. Kolkotta's heat will be humid while that of Delhi's is dry heat with minimum humidity. I don't think you need to take Malaria pills during the summer season.

No you do not need to carry ani-malerial tablets. However do carry/buy in India a Mosquito repellant cream and in the unfortunate event of any reaction to mosquito bites. Enjoy your stay Reply    Reply with quote    Contact shadey
