mdhowlett Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Are there geocachers in India? Tamil Nadu? Chennai? Give a shout out...maybe we can organize an event! I am currently in India (19d 01.494N and 073d 02.204E) Mumbai on a long (3 week) business trip. I can only find One Geocache site within a 200+ mile area. I will try to visit that one - elephanta caves - but not sure I will get there. I was considering setting up additional geocaching sites here as I come here fairly frequently. This is my 6th trip in 4 years. I have been concerned about setting up a site as I am not native to the area and don't know the local laws perhaps as well as I should. Last time I was here I went to Matheran and would like to do so again and put a site there, but again, not sure the legality of it. Quote
archiplanner Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Hi, I am Archi from Ahmedabad, western part of India. I would like to be a part of the geocaching community. I have pretty good map collection for the city with accurate details. I have good handheld Garmin GPS and PDA+GPS phone and iPaq with bluetooth GPS. I want to create cache's for Ahmedabad. Any clues how to start on? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Archi Quote
+MissJenn Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Have you seen the picture of Signal at Taj Mahal? It is the December 2008 calendar. http://www.geocaching.com/goodies/ Quote
caizu Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 Yes please, event in Bangalore! I've been trying to find some geocachers here in Bangalore but it's not so easy. Where they all are hiding? I'll be in Bangalore until 16th January, so please let me know if you're around. Quote

+ChayBeeTee Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Greetings India Cachers, I live in New York City but, since discovering geocaching, can't conceive of traveling without finding at least a cache or two in any destination. I'll be in India the last two weeks in April (Delhi, Agra, and Uttaranchal, around Mussoorie), and would love to meet other cachers or get some leads on caches near the places I'll be visiting. A search for those in India doesn't map them all, so I need to go through the list (44 India caches in all, it seems) and see what's where. Such a large country--so few caches! Please feel free to contact me directly. All the best, ChayBeeTee Quote
madwyrm Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Hey ChayBeeTee, I'm sure you'll be able to find at least a couple of caches while you're in India. I know there are at least two caches in Delhi.. The cache at the Taj is pretty tricky due to the recent security measures.. ( they don't allow you to take the GPS inside), I think there is a cache in / around Mussoorie as well.. I just started Geocaching too, and since there aren't too many caches to find, I'm keeping myself busy setting up new caches.. Hope you have fun! Let me know if you need help. Cheers! Quote
+Team Professor X Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Hi all, I wonder if there are any geocachers in New Delhi on sunday may 10th 2009. If so, I would love to join forces and try to succesfully log the 4 caches that are out there. Should you be around that day, please drop me a note. Best regards, Aart-Jan (Team Professor X) Quote
+The Lost Geeks Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Are there any Geocachers in Hyderabad? I see there are caches in Deli and in Agra but they are quite some distance. I figured being in IT City there must be people who would be interested in geocaching. I have been debating to take a flight up to Deli to get some of the caches! I will be here until July 3/09 so if anyone is in the area and interested in heading north to grab some caches drop me a note!! The Lost Geeks Quote
pushkarbhat Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Yes I am based in Pune, Maharashtra. Would love to meet with Geocachers in and around Pune. Quote
Welcome to India Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Do give us a ping(welcom2india@gmail.com) if u visit Delhi & up for a meet or a Geo caching search. Quote
wowlife Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 @ tadpole : Delhi folks MUST organise one this year>> its 100th yr celebration Lemme know if we ALL pool our resources to do some cool stuff in delhi ! Me Quote
wowlife Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Am in! @ Chennai. So is anything planned here?? ... Quote
+The Lost Geeks Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 I was not able to get to any Geocaches while I was in Hyderabad India, they were just too far away. I did place a waymark at the Ista hotel but no one has logged it. There is a reporter looking to interview Geocachers in India, would anyone be interested in talking to them? If so drop me an email and I will forward along the contact information. Cheers, Brian brian (dot) shaw (at) gmail (dot) com Quote

sunshinefaces Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 @ team maple leaf; are you still in Tamil Nadu? Chennai? I will be there from FEB 9-APR 29 this is my 2nd trip, my 1st one I wanted to Geo cache but it doesn't seem to be as popular there...i thought, and you really need to have good prep for the mission..since there is limited resources and the city is uber crazy lol I am trying to eventually obtain the world cacher badge ..so I badly would love to find at least one while I am there, so any tip's... or does anyone want to go at this together!? would be much easier I feel ... HAPPY TREASURE HUNTING Quote
+gg Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I'll be in Goa for 3 months starting Feb 01. 2012. I'd like to get out and grab some caches while there so if anyone has a caching day planned let me know. I may need to set up a Feb 29 event just for the special day. Quote
+gg Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 I sent in a request to have a Feb 29 Event at Patnem Beach. If anyone is interested let me know. It may help to show other cachers are interested in attending. Quote
skw Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 I will be visiting Bangalore and (for a weekend) Tamil Nadu soon. (Feb 26-March 7) I would be interested in meeting other Geocachers. I hope to place caches near Athoor Village and near Kannivadi. I need to talk to the property owners first before I share my ideas. Quote

I hope to place caches near Athoor Village and near Kannivadi. I need to talk to the property owners first before I share my ideas. See GC3DH73 and GC3DH55. Two new caches in Tamil Nadu. Both are traditional caches with international travel bugs in them, and neither has been logged yet. Quote
Baloneks Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Hello! A New Yorker, I'm currently in Allahabad, where I'll be for the next few years, and where the closest cache is hundreds of miles away....for now. Expect a few new ones in Allahabad to pop up in the next few months!! :-) If anyone is coming for the Maha Kumb Mela this December/January, there'll DEFinitely be some up by then (but far from the mela site as there's NO way that a geocacher would go unseen!). [well, maybe a difficulty 5 due to muggles...?] Quote
Baloneks Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Actually, if any of y'all ARE planning on heading to Allahabad for the Kumbh Mela this year, post something about it here...maybe there'll actually be a group of us for - gasp - a geocache event in UP?? :-) Quote
Baloneks Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 So Allahabad's first Geocache IS PUBLISHED!!! :-) :-) And there is another one coming soon (once I can re-confirm the coordinates). The cache: "GC3TXH6: Haathi Park - Allahabad" is at http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC3TXH6 Quote
+Ladas112 Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Hello eveyone! I'm visiting India for the next October. I'm starting to planning the trip, and the geocaching tours! I've notice that there aren't many geocaches there. So, I need to know something: - is it possible for me to hide some geocaches in india? - I have a couple of friends living there, that can perform de maintenance -if so, should I contact any indian reviewer? - are there any laws or something that difficulties the hiding? What is your advice? This way, I could get one or two geocaches, increasing the Indian Geocaching activity!! Please, give you opinion! Thank you very much. L112 Quote

jimi_russell Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Mumbai reporting. I'm new to geocaching so I'm still reading and learning about it. I'm very much interested in exploring places off the beaten path. Geocaching will add a new dimension to my travels. Looking forward to both finding and hiding caches as well as seeing the amazing places which I probably wouldn't have seen otherwise. Quote
