Places renting out camping gear in Mumbai?

Anyone know where I can rent a tent, sleeping bag, backpack, and maybe a camping stove from?

Would much appreciate any help.

Thanks!

Kangchenjunga Foundation

The Kangchenjunga Foundation used to rent out equipment, mainly for expeditions. For more information you may contact Dilip Lagu at Lagu Bandhu Motiwale opposite Visawa restaurant near Dadar Station on the West.

In bombay, set up a camp anywhere - even in the middle of the road and set up a small temple/mosque/church inside it - no one will dare to remove you from the spot.

Mr. Lagu is presently out of town, instead one Mr. Uday Kolwankar is now looking after the stuff. PM me if you want to get in touch with him.
