Could i ask, what do you expect to use these maps for?

As far as maps go - you are unlikely to find any maps with adequate
resolution for any of the border areas of India. Something like
1:2,000,000 is the best that Survey of India will sell - though 1 inch
: 1 mile (1:53,000) exist. If you have access to better maps let, I
would be very interested.

Besides, even 1:50,000 maps are far too inadequate for rock climbing.
to find good climbing spots, exploring and spongeing info off other
climbers, are the only ways.
