Hi,

Do you know someplace where I can hire out tents (need to accoodate 30 people ) .. so you can work out how many tents are required.

Need to get them without paying a very high deposit.

Appreciate all help.

Get off ur Ass is an total rip off..
Just pasting the rates quoted by him for renting out a few equipments..

TENTS @ Rs. 150/day
(Caution deposit Rs.3000 refundable)

BACK PACKS @ Rs. 50/day
(Caution deposit Rs. 800 refundable)

SLEEPING BAGS @ Rs. 40/day (Caution deposit Rs. 800 refundable)

SLEEPING MATS @ Rs. 10/day
(Caution deposit Rs. 100 refundable)

I thinks its better to buy own tents than paying Rs 150/day.. For a normal himlayan high altitude expedition, I would need 20 days ex- Bangalore.. so instead of paying Rs 3000 as rent for 20 days, I could very well buy a tent/..

Hey Jyothi,

Thanks for the mail. Checked out that place too.

Checked out Lafuma Tents at Ozone... pretty neat and handy stuff.. But I wanted to see more tents so someone told me to go to Shivajinagar Gujari.. man its a different world out there...

I ended up buying a tent from there.. its one of those government survey types for about 2.5k .. it can accomodate 6 people and has a high enterance... however I dont think it can be used in heavy rains... but will suffice for now..

HI jyothi,
that is being unreasonable about the tent hire costs, i guess.
when i checked for rates with a few people in banglore to hire tents; the rates quoted by them are much higher. about Rs 250/day; i guess Rs 150/day is much lesser.
if ur looking at doing a himalayan trip; it is good idea to buy a tent which u can get at Rs 4500 onwards(good fibreglass pole, lightweight dome tent, 2layered to keep off rain and make it wind proof). even if u want to hire in the mountains it will cost about 250 + they will be A-frame, 8 kilo heavy tent which is not possible to carry.

I have some reference of a guy I met during my recent visit to PUNE. He claims to be best in INDIA- I think he has a point..at least by going through R&D-I think it is worth trying.

http://www.gypsytents.com- is Pune based shop.The company is managed by a group of trekkers & mountaineers to fulfill the need of good quality reliable Trekking, Mountaineering and Camping Equipments and to promote adventure sports.
