Mosquito Nets

Hi all .
Im off to India for the First time in January and ive got most of the items i'll need but i havn't yet got a Mosquitoe net.
Im traveling on my own for 6 weeks but expect that many of the rooms i will stay in will be doubles so im wondering wether to get a double net? I will be in Delhi,Haridwar, Rishikesh, Varanasi, Agra and Vrindavan for my trip. Are the Mosquitoes bad in these part january and February? (Hopefully the ansawer will be no lol). What do you good folks think? All help gratefully recieved as ever.
Peace
Si

January and February are not, typically, high mosquito months, especially in the areas you'll be traveling. Not to say there won't be any, but not as many as later in the year. Depends too on you; are you a mosquito-magnet? I am not, and have rarely used a net (I find them confining and not airy enough for my liking.) You can buy them in India. In my guest house in Varanasi last year they provided a net for me; it was a single net, but flared enough at the bottom to accomodate my double bed.
Happy Trails . . . some cool places your off to.
