This is Sunil, you can also find me in the link given above from xbhp. When we went to Leh last year (2005), we hired 4 sleeping bags and 2 tents from Caribban International (not sure about the spellings of their name though); they deal in moutaineering and trekking equipments. The sleeping bags we hired were at 20 Rs. per day per bag. We were told that they could stand the cold up to -5 degrees. We used those bags and did our camping at Zoji-La Top (yes!!! right at the top); don't know abt the exact temperature there, but the weather was chilly and it was raining heavily whole night. I must say that these tents performed really-2 well, even for the first timers like us. If anybody is interested in them, I can help you locating their shop/office in Okhla Industrial Area in South Delhi. Just drop a PM to me or mail me at suniel.gupta@gmail.com.

Try woodland stores as well..the only problem is that you wont find sleeping bags/tents at all stores.
I have checked out the woodland tents at their store..& yeah they were pretty good.
