Mosquitos regional?

I know mossies are normally found in warm areas , so does anyone know how much of india they are located in?
Eg Would u get mossies in shimla or mcleod ganj ever or only between certain months?

I saw (unless I was hallucinating from the medication ) a few mossies in mcleod at the end of the monsoon , in spite of the recommendation that antimalarials shouldn`t be necessary at this altitude.
I asked a infectious diseases specialist about this later who said that it was a known fact that you could meet mossies at this altitude, but they dont host & spread the disease.
