Secure camera storage in Nepal

[kevin_beretta]

I've been to Nepal a handful of times but later this year I'll be back and want to leave a bunch of camera gear in secure storage while I go hiking. I know backpacks etc. can be left in most hotels for your trekking times, but I am not comfortable leaving a lot of expensive gear behind. Also, those storage units are quite messy and people step on packs to get to others etc.

 

Ideally, I'd like to find a place where I can get a lock box, the size of a banker's box maybe, where I can leave a handful of lenses and a laptop, cables etc. and take only what I need for a hike.

 

There are no lockers at the airport so that's not an option either.

 

Does anyone know if there is a good option in Kathmandu?

 

Cheers,

Kevin

Sorry never been there. Considering the size of active photo.net, I'd recommend diving into some Nepal-travel forum or even better: Asking local contacts you made during previous trips for help.
