storing a bag and lap top

smares · Jun 20th, 2009, 05:09

hey

Im going to India in July. I have been living in New Zealand for the last year and a half so I have a lot of things to carry. I want to travel just with my back pack but I have another big bag and a laptop with me.

Where can I store those things in Dehli (a company) while I travel in India for 100 days, and then I pick them up before taking my plane back home... sweet as!

Thanks

Sergio

Just ask around with the hotels, there'll be luggage storage facilities on offer.

For your peace of mind, keep an eye on are they being used, i.e., is there a steady flow of customers in and out of there.

Other than that, should be cheap and not a problem. (Well, I wouldn't leave a machine with all my sensitive data behind. Just be sensible about it, no.)

Note it will commonly be demanded your packs are locked, presumably to stop you from whining later anything was taken from it. Backpacks can be tied up with a light chain through their various flaps, then lock that with a padlock.

You can also use the storage facilities at New Delhi railway station, called cloak rooms, but I am uncertain whether they will allow it for 100 days.

I think the normal rule for cloak rooms (left luggage, at most any train station) is 30 days. You might want to see how far a smile will get you though

Note again btw that your packs need to be lockable, and locked, here.

btw Something we'd overlooked, the railways cloak rooms technically require you to have a train ticket. And my recent experience was this is mostly enforced.
