Vaccinations & health

Typically recommended for India

• Hepatitis A — spread through contaminated water and food.
• Typhoid — spread the same way, through water and food.

It's also worth checking that your standard vaccinations are up to date — tetanus, diphtheria, polio and measles.

Usually not needed for a trip like this

Rabies and Hepatitis B are generally more relevant for longer stays or a lot of animal contact, so they're usually not necessary for our route — but do ask your doctor if you'd like to be extra cautious.

Malaria

No malaria prophylaxis is needed for our route through Jaipur, Delhi and Kasauli — these areas are considered low-risk and practically malaria-free.

Practical steps

• Book an appointment with your GP or a travel / tropical-medicine clinic in the coming weeks.
• Travel vaccinations are often at least partly covered by health insurance — worth checking with yours.
