Mosquito nets

Will be leaving for dehli in a few weeks (oct 17th) planning on heading north to Himichal Pradesh (dharamsala, shimla,dalhosie) for a while then on to varannasi/rajistan in late nov/ early dec.
I assume because of the altitude/coldness most of himacahal pradesh will be mosquito free (I could be assuming wrong) ,
but what would varanasi/rajistan be like (I tend to get bitten and my girlfriend cant take the anti-malarial pills)
If I bring a mossie net it wll be a double (me and girlfriend), I have never put up a mossie net or seen one in real life.
So would you say its worth it from your experiences ?
Are they easy to put up ? I imagine you must have to put some small hooks into the hotel owners wall

I doubt you'll need a mossie net for the any of the regions your are visiting
Just use the electronic bug deterant and you'll be fine
Mossies would only really be a problem further south

Then let us pray that come it may
(As come it will for a' that),
That Sense and Worth o'er a' the earth,
Shall bear the gree an a' that.
For a' that, an a' that,
It's coming yet for a' that,
That man to man, the world, o'er
Shall brithers be for a' that.

Is it better to pick up the electric bug thing in country?

I was planning on bringing a net as well - but since the early legs of my trip are north, sounds like it isn't necessary...thanks for saving me a few $$?
