Tents on rent in Bengaluru
You can rent a camping tent in Bengaluru on Lumo Bazaar for about ₹120–500 a day, from owners who use them on the same treks you are planning. Two-person dome tents suit Kudremukh and Skandagiri; four-person tents suit Kabini and Coorg campsites. Lumo holds the ₹500 deposit and settles it after the owner confirms the return.

The usual choices are Quechua or Decathlon domes that pitch in ten minutes, or a larger family tent. For an overnight trek, a two-person tent is lighter to carry; for a campsite with car access, a four-person tent gives room for bags. Check the listing for the pole type and whether a rainfly is included: between June and September, and on any night trek in the Western Ghats, a rainfly is not optional.
Pick the tent up on Thursday or Friday so you can pitch it once at home. Count the pegs and poles, look for tears in the floor, and open every zip. When you return it, shake out the sand and let it dry: a tent packed wet smells for weeks, and the owner photographs the return just as you photographed the handover.
Renting makes sense if you camp two or three times a year. If you go every month, buying a basic two-person tent costs about the same as eight to ten days of rent.

Questions
How much does it cost to rent tents in Bengaluru?
The typical range in Lumo's catalogue is ₹120–500 a day. Each owner sets their own price per day; nothing is listed here in Bengaluru yet.
Which tent should I rent for a Kudremukh or Kumara Parvatha trek?
A two-person dome tent with a rainfly. It packs to the size of a sleeping bag and stands up to wind on open ridges. Book one per two people.
Can I rent a sleeping bag and mat with the tent?
Yes, if the owner lists them. Search sleeping bags in the same area, or ask the owner in the app before you book.
What if it rains and the tent comes back wet?
That is normal on a trek. Tell the owner, and dry it before you hand it back if you can. Damage, not dirt, is what the deposit covers.
How early should I book for a long weekend?
A week ahead for long weekends between October and February, when most of Bengaluru goes camping. Midweek trips are easier to book at short notice.
