I was in contakt with mehul kamdar for a long time in the nitro express forum and when I told him that go on a trek in india in november he recommand me to visit this forum.
I dont like the problems to bring a gun to india, if it allways was a great idea to have it, knowing that old times are gone. most of my guns are sold now. Only one airgun, one sidexside shotgun, one capegun, one mauser , one garden gun will be at home for an uncertain future.
If the authoritys are know how you can shoot with a tube and firecracker powder they wont sleep anymore.
I was a commercial reloader here in germany but the last batch of handload ammo will made this weekend.
My speciality was ammo for very old and obsolet calibers, also my interesting for old guns. See that you have a hard gunlaw, but remember the times with much harder one here. Is handloading of cartridges possible in india, what is with components like brass, primer , powder, bullets.
Remeber the post of an indian in the net some years ago when he was looking for 10,75x68 mauser ammo.
I am allways interestet to see hunting with speers , traps and old and homemade guns: muzzleloader and other.
I fly to Dehli on the 6. of november, plan is to walk over Luckow, Varanasi to Darjeeling.
Must see than what happens, the visa for india is now only 6 month's valid and you cant extend it in the country anymore, big problem. I can go to nepal and try there to get a new visa and I can try to get a visa for Tibet and make the walk to Lhasa, walk to the Kailasch mountain then will be also great.
This will be a pure trek, no mobil phone , no gps, only a map and a compass, ligth baggage. I have to walk and carry all the things I need.
I will be looking like a tramp because sleeping in the jungle when nessesary.
Mehul tells me that someone here will be on my route.

Fly to Darjeeling and trek from there.Do visit Lucknow though.Lots of history and things to see.Just don't walk there.There are a lot of trekking trails in the Himalyas, find a safe area and do let somebody know where you are going and when you would be back.Be sensible, avoid areas that the locals do and you would have a lot of fun in India.When was the last time you visited India?
