Camping Equipment Rental in Pakistan

Renting is the sensible option for people who camp twice a year. Islamabad rental stock covers two, four and six-person dome tents, sleeping bags rated for summer and winter use, foam and inflatable mats, camping stoves and gas, lanterns, folding chairs, cool boxes and trekking poles. A few outlets also rent backpacks and basic climbing gear for Fairy Meadows and Mukshpuri treks.

A two-person tent is Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,500 a day and a six-person tent Rs 3,000 to Rs 5,000. Sleeping bags are Rs 600 to Rs 1,500 depending on temperature rating, mats Rs 300 to Rs 600, and a stove with gas around Rs 1,000. A complete kit for four people typically works out at Rs 5,000 to Rs 8,500 a day, with a refundable deposit.

Check the sleeping bag rating against where you are going, since a summer bag at Nathia Gali in October is a cold night. Inspect the tent poles and zips at pickup and test-pitch if the shop allows it. Confirm the deposit amount, the late-return charge and the policy on returning wet or muddy gear, which some outlets charge a cleaning fee for.
