Leaving Luggage

Camberwellies

Morning All,

My girlfriend and I are planning to spend September in India but I've got a problem: I've been in Australia for the past year and have so much luggage it's not funny.

Some of the stuff will have to be crated up and shipped back to the UK but there are some things I'd rather not crate up and I'd rather not carry around India, e.g. a snowboard, a sentimentally valuable watch, my old but trusty laptop, so I wondered if anyone knew if there was anywhere in Delhi that you can safely store stuff for a month rather than have to lug it around with you.

Last time I went to India I lived out of a small sports bag and found that trouble enough on buses and the like, lugging around a bag full of winter sports gear has great comedy potential.

Ta.

What on earth were you doing with a snowboard in Australia anyway? :P

Paharganj? Errrrr.....

Guerik, they get snow here and some Ockers I've ridden with in Europe offered to return the favour while I was here... terrain's a bit pants, though. NZ's snowfields are worth bumming around: Whakapapa's an active volcano and the storms that smack into it haven't touched land for ten thousand miles.... hehehe!

The snow boarding in NZ is some of the best in the world and Aus gets snow in the siutabaly named snowy mountains...Though granted I've never been there in the winter

Make for NZ though for some powder action on the South Island

AS for storing your stuff
No worries ...Leave it in a lock up
You can buy a metal box put a padlock on it

Ive done it a couple fo times and never lost anything
You could also try the railway station
Left stuff in numerous stations and never had a problem

Not sure about the airport or how expensive but you could try it and would save you having to cart everything into Delhi

I live an hour from the Australian "Snowy Mountains" and I agree with c.wellies, our snowfields are a bit rubbish. There are 2-3 months a year when they're ok, but even then it's usually because of manufactured snow.

Your stuff should be fine, if you book a night at the same hotel at the end of your trip then they're making some dosh from you anyway and aren't likely to mess with your stuff.
