Luggage question (Delhi)

Mikki · Aug 7th, 2005, 14:24

Does anyone have a good suggestion as to where I can leave my suitcase or backpack in Delhi if I just want to go to Rajasthan for a couple of days with a small bag and my little guesthouse doesn't have much space? I don't mind paying for storage - anything's better than dragging an unnecessarily big suitcase around!
Thanks for all tips!

I usually store it in the guesthouses I stay...prehaps, move to another guesthouse that has storage facilities

last time I had a bag couriered from Bangalore to Delhi, and because it was sent ahead of me, my bag remained in the company's collection place for a week before I collected it. Maybe you can make an arrangement with a courier company for your bag to be stored there. I mean, they definitely have the space to do it.

Most guesthouses will do that, but may insist on a booking for a night or two when you return -- mostly as a voucher, so you're not tied to a particular date. This is also a good bargaining chip if your current guesthouse is unwilling to store a bag: Offer them your custom on your return if they do store it, or tell them that otherwise you might have to move elsewhere.

I have stored bags many times at the fabulous Hotel Namaskar, and never had a problem. Remember to lock them, though, and do not keep anything perishable inside.

Most railway stations also have left luggage facilities, although I'm not sure for how long you can store bags and how well they're looked after.
