Hi I'm going on this tour next month and would like to ask those who have either been on this tour recently or are going on the March trip - I have a simple question regarding the malaria risk - my doctor said there is little risk of getting malaria in the areas we will be travelling in, but has prescribed to start taking Malarone the day before we hit Khajuraho. Some malaria maps (e.g. Fit for Travel) show all the areas we visit as being low risk, while some other sites show the whole of India being high risk. What has been the experience of others who have done or are doing this tour?

Many thanks in anticipation,

Bob

I am going on this holiday in a couple of weeks time, and no, you do not need malaria tablets. I took the map with all the places we were going to to my GP and the nurse checked and said we did not need them, and she is exceptionally methodical as I travel a lot.

Hope this helps, but if you still do want to get Malarone, the cheapest place I have found is online at Travelpharm.com - you send them the prescription and they send you the pills.

Enjoy!

thanks for your answer! Hope we stay bite free!

Take care,

Bob

Hi Bob, I also checked with the practice nurse and she said the risk of malaria is very low and I do not need to take any precautions. Hope this helps.

Looking forward to meeting you next month, seeing as the Exec Lounge is closed I suppose we'll all meet at the gate! I'm travelling in from Belfast so won't see any of you at departures.

All the best,

Bob
