My Number is 9886167636.
Sleeping bags are available for rent. BMC provides it for nominal rate I
suppose (Check with Neeraj).
I would suggest you guys buy your own as its pretty useful.
Decathlon has a wide range of sleeping bags. But, why do I have a feeling
that they have hiked up the prices like anything, just browsed their
website.
About sleeping mats, you should be getting them on JC road. It would cost
you 50-60 Rs per person.
Of course, you have an option of buying a branded(and better) one at
wildcraft or Decathlon for 400 Rs.
Guys, you have Maps? GPS? and walkie talkies?
