Book Reviews of Lonely Planet India
Book Review: Pretty Good
Summary: 4 Stars
I have used the Lonely Planet Guides before when living in China and they were a great help when traveling within the country. I will be going to India for a two week trip and will use this guide to help plan out sight seeing, restaurants, hotels etc. It is packed with good information on the culture, and safety and health issues. The information presented has been echoed in other sources I have read. It is worth the money. I am using it in conjunction with the Rough Guide to India.Book Review: Strongly recommended to anyone planning to visit any part of this remarkable country either for business or for pleasure
Summary: 5 Stars
This expanded and updated eleventh edition of India is the result of considerable research and study by Lonely Planet's expert staff including Sarina Singh and ten associates. India is an comprehensive and highly portable 1140-page paperback guide to the diverse country of India. Introducing travelers to a significant grasp of Indian culture and land, India offers readers a "user-friendly" reference for best accommodations for budget, historical information, lesser known locations such as national parks, remote tribal villages and serene secluded mountain treks, comprehensive understandings of Indian cuisine, and transportation information with over 200 precise maps. India from Lonely Planet is very strongly recommended to anyone planning to visit any part of this remarkable country either for business or for pleasure.
Book Review: The Essential
Summary: 5 Stars
If you plan to go to India whether on a guided tour or your own, get this book. I just got back from India, and this book had everything spot on. Our guide has been leading tours in India and Nepal for 12 years and said that he thought this was the best guide for India he's seen.
You will enjoy the trip a lot more if you read up on the history, culture, and sections on each place you are visiting. Knowing what to expect will help you avoid the culture shock many people experience arriving in India.
No guide has it all, and this one missed one thing. Do not mail anything from your hotel. The bell captains take the mail, steam off your stamp, and resell it. Unfortunately, we found out about this after we mailed our postcards.
Book Review: The travel before the travel
Summary: 5 Stars
It's really interesting the multitude of feelings that the planning of a trip suggests. Talking specifically about India, in a recent trip I choose the Lonely Planet guide as a reference and I was surprised. Almost every comment about India was charged with intense interaction between the writer and the reality. Those observations result in a very complex array of cultural aspects that give me the necessary basis to walk around and interact. Congratulations.Book Review: They never disappoint
Summary: 5 Stars
Being an avid traveler, I have always trusted Lonely Planet guide books and I've never been disappointed. With India being such a big country, I am impressed with the amount of information provided in order to have a wonderful experience. I'm currently planning my trip to India and it has proven to be very helpful so far!
