Je pars trois semaines en Inde en juillet. Quel type de moustiquaire sera le plus adaptée à un périple avec changement de logements presque tous les jours ? Vers quelle forme et avec quelles attaches dois-je me diriger ?
Bonjour,
Moi, perso, je deconseille la moustiquaire.
Ca prend de la place et c'est hyper galere a accrocher/décrocher surtout s'il faut le faire tous les jours.
Je suis un partisan inconditionnel de la moustiquaire car elle offre la sérénité de savoir qu'on ne va pas se faire piquer par un moustique. D'autant plus que comme je mets des bouchons dans mes oreilles à cause du boucan qui règne pratiquement partout en Inde et ailleurs je n'entends pas le bzzzzz du moustique quand il s'approche
Bref je ne voyage plus qu'avec une moustiquaire de type "parapluie" c'est à dire à un point d'attache. Modèle 2 personnes, vaut mieux que ce soit trop grand que pas assez 🤪 Le modèle à 4 points d'attaches nécessite comme son nom l'indique 4 endroits dans la chambre pour tirer 4 ficelles ce qui est bien plus compliqué. J'avais commencé avec ce type-là mais je l'ai vite abandonné.
Afin que le centre de la moustiquaire soit bien au dessus du lit pour que celle-ci se développe tout autour je tire une ficelle le plus haut possible (attention au ventilateur de plafond) d'un bout à l'autre de la chambre. Soit dans l'alignement du lit soit perpendiculairement au lit suivant les possibilités.
J'attache la ficelle à n'importe quoi et si il n'y a pas de point d'accroche je fixe dans le mur ou dans les boiseries des vis-crochet que j'emporte avec moi. J'ai même une petite vrille - à mettre dans les bagages en soute car sinon confisquée au contrôle des aéroports 😕 - pour amorcer le trou permettant de visser le crochet.
C'est pas trop compliqué. Sauf dans les hôtels un peu chic avec des murs tout nu et en plâtre mais il y a souvent un cadre ou deux que l'on décroche et le crochet derrière le cadre fait l'affaire. Dans les hôtels bas de gamme pas de problème c'est plein de trucs et de bazards où on peut attacher la ficelle.
J'espère avoir été clair sinon sinon je ferai des photos
Je suis par contre absolument anti mosquito coïl car après tu as tous tes vêtements qui puent la fumée.

Ca dépend aussi de là où tu pars en Inde... Si c'est au Rajasthan c'est même pas la peine d'envisager la moustiquaire, il fait tellement chaud qu'il n'y a pas de moustiques ! (idem à Delhi ae la pollution...)
Sinon dans des villes comme Varanasi c'est indispensable... je me rappelle de m'être réveillé le matin ae des dizaines de bestioles sur la moustiquaire...
Perso j'ai une moutiquaire pyramide 2 places, comme le disaient les précédents messages on trouve toujours un endroit pour les accrocher ! :)
Je pars dans un mois en Inde (à partir de mi-aout) pour un mois de tourisme, et après 5 mois à Calcutta. Du coup, je suis les posts sur l'Inde avec attention.
Ragamuffin, où achète-tu ta moustiquaire? Sur internet? et les petites vis/crochets?
Moustiquaire dans les magasins qui vendent des articles pour les randonneurs, voyageurs, etc.
Vis à crochet et petite vrille dans les magasins d'outillage

Je vais partir mi-aout en Inde et Népal pour ne pas faire de jaloux😉 je vais prendre les 3 solutions mais j'ai une question pour chaque(pas trouvé de réponse sur le forum):
- Odomos à priori une solution que beaucoup propose mais peut-on s'en mettre sur le visage?
- Moustiquaire avec toutes les différentes formes, type de maillage, imprégné ou non quel serait l'idéal s'il y en a un?
- mosquitoe coils en trouve-t-on d'efficace en Inde si oui lequel ou doit-on prendre le stock en partant?
my goodness que de problèmes ces miskitos... le kit "all in 1" de Ragamuffin me parait le plus audacieux 😊 il faut l'échelle avec, car souvent les plafonds sont très hauts, 12feets.
Tu peux aussi te tartiner la figure avec n'importe quelle crème sans te préoccuper de rien, c'est inoffensif.
Les coils et good knight mats sont bien, mais il faut dormir les fenêtres fermées, sinon ça ne sert à rien. Odeur trop forte à mon avis.
Le mieux c'est je le répète, la moustiquaire genre "Fitting a moskitonet made in Ragamuffin". Un peu de gymnastique ne fait du mal a personne, mais attention à ne pas tomber… 😛
Ah... j'oubliais de vous dire ce que je faisais moi contre les moskitos, je prends dans mes bagages une bombe aérosol de n'importe quelle marque, petite taille de préf. et c'est rapide, pas besoin de la vider pour éliminer tout ce qui bouge dans la chambre, même sur les lits il y a parfois des petites bêtes. On les trouve partout dans les pharmacies en Inde et ailleurs.
Donc à bon entendeur, salut?
j ai trouvée des moustiquaire super je les ai utilise en guyane formidable une ou plusieur place c est un fabriquant specialisé dans le voyage katadym tu les trouve chez pharmactuelle.fr
bizz 😊
Bonjour Raga,
Achète t-on facilement une moustiquaire comme celle tu décris sur Bruxelles? Nous partons en janv. Février. J'espère que tu liras ce post, car le message date un peu. Tant que j'y suis en plus des boules kies, ficèle, crochets... d'autres petites choses à emporter pour le voyage?
Bonjour
Je relis ce message par hasard suite à un autre.
Tu viens de me la solution pour ma moustiquaire.....merci.
Une fine corde ferait l'affaire ?
Ha c'est grand vadrouilleuse, toutes les astuces....... j'avais déjà essayé pas mal de choses au point de prendre clous et petit marteau avec mais grille et crochets sont plus pratiques.;-)
Cordialement
Marie

I’m planning a trip to Japan next year and I have asthma...
I wanted to know about the regulations regarding Ventolin (Salbutamol) in Japan—is it considered a drug? Can I bring my inhaler with me, or do I need to buy a similar product in Japan?
I have two American cousins. The older one was born in Paris, and his sister was born in California. The latter is planning a trip to Paris this summer, but she recently fell ill, and American doctors don’t know what’s wrong. I had the idea of letting her take advantage of her trip to get treated here, avoiding the high healthcare costs of the American system in the process. The problem is, I can’t find anything online about this—just testimonials from French people who used to be American, but nothing for a simple tourist.
I’m traveling to Portugal with my family and I have a treatment that requires injections. How can I take a flight with these? They look like injectable pens.
Thanks
We’re planning a trip to the Philippines from April 22 to May 8, 2026. Flight from Geneva with a layover in Turkey and Manila. Our itinerary: Angeles – Busuanga – Palawan…
The Philippines are a dream destination, but is it possible to travel there safely? I’ve heard that checked luggage often gets lost, tap water isn’t safe to drink, and mosquitoes are everywhere.
For water, what’s the best solution to carry in a backpack? Is a filtering water bottle 100% reliable?
For mosquitoes, should we treat our clothes with repellent? Are you vaccinated against hepatitis A, malaria, or dengue? Or is there an oral treatment to take?
Hi there,
Does anyone know if there’s travel insurance for someone who’s had a heart attack?
I can’t find an insurer that covers a pre-existing condition, even if it’s stable.
Thanks so much!
Hi everyone, next month my wife, our 6-year-old daughter, and I are flying to Thailand. It’ll be a great chance to soak up some sun—something we’ve been missing lately here in France! But speaking of sun, I burn easily, and our daughter even more so. I was wondering what SPF to get for sunscreen and whether it’s better to buy it there or before we leave? Thanks for your tips!
Hello,
We’re planning to spend 3 months in Madagascar starting in mid-February.
Areas: Mahajanga, Tulear, Diego Suarez, and Sainte Marie—the order isn’t set yet. We’ll either drive for part of the trip or take flights.
We’ve heard all sorts of things about required vaccines and medications (is anti-malarial mandatory?). What’s the exact situation for travelers?
I’ll come back to you for other topics (like finding a reliable driver, among others).
Thank you.
Best wishes to you all,
Nicole
We're about to go on an organized trip to South Africa, including Kruger Park. We were told that Malarone should preferably be taken in the evening at the same time during a meal. But it's hard to know what time we'll have dinner, especially since I've read that in South Africa, dinner is usually around 6 PM.
I'd love to hear from people who've been on organized trips to this destination and could share their experience. We were thinking of taking Malarone around 7:30 PM, assuming dinner would be closer to 7 PM than 6 PM. Also, if the meal ends up being earlier or later than when we take the pill, would a cookie or a piece of bread be enough to take with Malarone?
I’m planning to set off on a "round-the-world" trip/long journey at the start of next year, lasting between 4.5 and 6 months. For now, the itinerary looks like this: South Korea (2 weeks) -> Japan (1 month) -> New Zealand (1 month) -> Argentina (1 month) -> United States (1 month).
I’m on medication (paroxetine 20 mg/day) and was hoping to bring enough for the entire trip so I wouldn’t have to find a doctor on the spot, deal with a molecule that might be slightly different from what’s available in France, or wonder if that’s even a possibility. Basically, it seemed simpler on paper...
But after looking into the regulations for each country, it’s suddenly way less simple . Many seem to only allow the amount corresponding to the length of your "stay" in the country... Which is a problem if I arrive in Korea with 4.5 months’ worth of medication, for example.
After all that, and even though I’ll obviously contact the relevant authorities in each country (fingers crossed for a response 😛), here’s my question:
Has anyone here had any experience with this? (Even if it’s a different medication or different countries, any input would be helpful!)
I’m trying to plan a trip to Dubai with my mom. I’ve seen that some of our medications require prior authorization (sleeping pills, codeine, anti-anxiety meds, etc.).
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s been in our situation. A friend of mine applied to bring her tramadol, but it was denied—though she needed high doses!
Has anyone here gone through this process? Do we *really* need a prescription in English?
We just found out my wife is pregnant, and we’ve planned a trip to the Barlavento Islands in Cape Verde this November.
We’d like to know if there’s a real risk of Zika contamination on those islands, because from what we’ve found online, the recorded cases are old and come from the Sotavento Islands.
We’re thinking about canceling our trip.
If you’ve recently traveled to Cape Verde or live there, do you have any thoughts on this?
hi, I’m looking for information about the possibility of returning to Thailand with a portable liquid oxygen system and whether it’s possible to recharge it in Thailand, especially in Chiang Mai. thanks
I’m starting a new discussion on this topic since there doesn’t seem to be a recent one.
I have several chronic conditions (including asthma and related ones), and I’m planning to travel for a year across different countries.
Generally, I understand it’s possible to travel with approved medications (which should be my case), but often with a limit of 3 months’ worth of treatment.
Since I’m going for 12 months, that means for three-quarters of my trip, I’d have more than 3 months’ worth of medication.
I plan to bring my prescriptions with the INN (International Nonproprietary Name), as well as the original packaging (even though it’s a nightmare, but from what I understand, it’s necessary). But I’m not sure if that’s enough...
Have any of you been in this situation before? How does it work at customs—do I need to declare everything that exceeds the 3-month limit? Do I need a letter from my doctors?
I'm currently in Bangkok: How can I find a good doctor for a consultation? It's for a friend who'd like a second medical opinion compared to what they got in their country of residence.
Any professionals you'd recommend? How much does it cost?
I’ve already visited quite a few countries across several continents, but I’m pretty new to Asia.
I’m planning a trip to Thailand in October or November, and I wanted to check about health precautions: malaria treatment, vaccinations (hepatitis A or others...).
I’ll mostly be in the northern region, around Chiang Mai, where I’ll spend a lot of time in nature and the mountains. Then I’ll head south to Phuket or Krabi and visit Khao Sok National Park. I’ll finish up in Bangkok, with a likely detour to Kanchanaburi.
From what I understand, for a stay of less than 60 days, I don’t need a visa (I’m a French national)? I just need to fill out the TDAC form 3 to 5 days before arrival?
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone is heading to Cuba soon and could bring me some over-the-counter Sildenafil (viagra) tablets—available at Varadero Airport, among other places.
Hi there! So, I'm hesitating about taking a long trip. I'd like to go away for 2 to 3 months and travel across several continents. I’d love some advice. I often have unexplained allergies and need to follow a daily treatment for my diabetes (insulin). I think I can get authorization from my doctor to travel for 6 months with the treatment—is that correct? After those 6 months, is it possible (instead of bothering a relative to send the medication) to see a foreign doctor to get another 6-month travel authorization? How does it work at the airport? Do I need just one medication transport authorization, or do I have to request a new one in each country (once the treatment runs out) for both the flight and a DCI? Also, travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so will I have to pay for foreign consultations out of pocket? I’m not sure if I explained myself clearly. Oh, and just to repeat—travel insurance doesn’t cover chronic illnesses, so foreign consultations will be at my own expense? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone.
After years of traveling to the USA without any medical insurance subscriptions—and luckily never having any major health issues (though I did get a scorpion sting buried in the sand at CBSouth, 😇)—life has caught up with us, and we’re now being forced into "wisdom" and leaving our carefree days behind.
So, I’m looking for the best compromise for a 2-month health insurance plan.
I’ve read the discussions on this topic, but the most recent one is from last year, and I’d love your take on the current situation.
I’m familiar with the usual options like Europ Assistance and AXA, but I’ve just discovered Chapka and Heymondo (the latter seems interesting in terms of both price and coverage).
What do you think of these last two? How do they compare in terms of value for money against the bigger companies?
Hi,
We’ve planned a 3-week trip to Bali this summer with our 7-year-old daughter. The itinerary includes Sanur, Nusa Lembongan, Sidemen, Amed, and Ubud. The more time passes, the more we read about people getting sick—some with mild to severe traveler’s diarrhea, and many ending up in the hospital. We, as parents, have been through it in Egypt with pretty bad cases, but we’d really like to avoid that for our daughter. Even though there’s no zero risk, and we’ll be careful, can any of you reassure me? Not everyone got sick, right? I’d love to hear positive feedback from parents, but not just them 😊. Thanks in advance!
Hi there...
I’m traveling with a friend for a month in November.
We booked our round-trip tickets from Paris to Phnom Penh, and yes, I know—it was a mistake. We should’ve flown out of Laos, but here we are.
But is it doable to backpack through both countries in a relaxed way?
I’ve seen that the transport takes a while...
Thanks so much for your replies.
Hi there,
I’ve started looking into getting dental implants, possibly in Costa Rica or Mexico.
Do you have any clinics to recommend or ones I should avoid?
For the next steps, I need to choose between Cuba Medika or Medigo—these are agencies that help with medical procedures. Do you have any info on either of them?
Hi everyone, a question for those who’ve been lucky enough to visit Raja Ampat—should you consider preventive malaria treatment given its proximity to Papua? And how was the food hygiene situation?
Thanks for your feedback! !
For several years now, increased aggression has been observed in Cape fur seals.
At least 70 unprovoked attacks on humans.
It was recently confirmed that this is due to rabies.
The suspected origin is contamination in Namibia by jackals.
The contagion seems to be spreading.
Preventive vaccination (of the animals) is being considered.
Just a reminder:
Rabies affects all mammals.
Once symptoms appear—sometimes weeks or even months later—death is inevitable.
It’s the bite that transmits the disease.
There are so-called "furious" forms with aggression, but also forms without aggression.
In case of a bite, in addition to standard wound care, tetanus prevention… rabies prevention is essential.
Stay careful out there…
Seeing seals from a boat along the coast isn’t rare in these parts…
I need 2 dental implants and I'd like to get them done abroad (it's a question of price).
Thanks for helping me with my search (Turkey, Spain, Romania???)
Can you tell me if you're satisfied with the services provided by Dentist Miguel at Club Amigo in Holguin? I'd like to go there in mid-December. Is it worth the trip to get dental prosthetics done?
Thanks for getting back to me... Michelle from Quebec
Hello,
I’m looking for a dentist who can do a full lower-arch implant with a complete prosthesis. I’m in Quebec and available to travel to Cuba. Need full contact details. Thanks everyone!
My current plan is to get my teeth treated in Cuba, especially for dental implants.
Has anyone here had experience and could refer me to a good, affordable dentist?
I’d really appreciate it if you could give me an idea of the price for one implant, since I need at least 6 done.
Thanks so much!
