Lonely Planet guides are a must-pack" --Toronto Star, February 2006
Book Description
Travellers of all ages and budgets view their Lonely Planet guidebook as a trustworthy travel companion. Every country is covered--from Argentina to Zimbabwe--with reliable, up-to-date and practical travel advice. In each country guide are thousands of detailed listings, reviews and recommendations as well as inspirational highlight sections, a full-colour front section with stylish images, and comprehensive maps to even the smallest towns. With 26 years' experience in India, Lonely Planet publishes the definitive guide and, with 100 extra pages, the twelfth edition of India is the most comprehensive edition ever. It provides superior coverage of unexplored and out-of-the-way destinations, and a new activities section spans festivals, language classes, yoga courses and Ayurvedic massage.

AMAZING,

This review is from: Lonely Planet India 12th Ed.: 12th edition (Paperback)
I spent a month traveling both Delhi and surrounding areas as well as Kerala. Loved this book, helped me figure out where to stay, eat and sightsee. Very good info. Except this book is VERY heavy to carry around which I found to be the only downfall. My friend I was traveling with brought the Rough Guide book for India and it was not as informative as the Lonely Planet book!!

Buy another book,
By Reviewer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lonely Planet India 12th Ed.: 12th edition (Paperback)
I was one of those people who took lonely planet books everywhere, all over Europe, to Iceland, the Philippines, Cuba and now Delhi. I trusted the brand so it was the only book I brought, big mistake.I'll only speak for Delhi because thats where I spent two weeks. So I hope this specifically helps travelers to Delhi. The restaurants were pretty much awful, the hotel prices were wrong, the massage treatment place recommended so out of the way that it cost the cost of the massage to get there and back. I was working so I only wasted my weekends following the book. My work lunches were at far better restaurants and a aimless walk in the daytime in Old Delhi was far better than any guided tour. I also didn't appreciate the tone of this book and how much time it wasted on smug reviews and lame humor. I think the individual country books depend really on the authors/editors, the other lonely planet guides I have were of great help. For India(or Delhi at least), try another title. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

No Country for One Book,

This review is from: Lonely Planet India 12th Ed.: 12th edition (Paperback)
While this is a perfectly adequate guide, should you travel to India, I would recommend also bringing along the Footprints Guide, which does a better job describing various monuments and historical places. I'll be heading to S India in a few months and plan to take this guide, Footprints AND Rough Guide (I tore the N India sections out of my older Rough Guide and Footprints as these are three hefty books). India is such a huge country that no one of these three guidebooks stand out as being the best. If I had to take just one, I'd probably go with Footprints, but their latest edition is a bit dated for proper hotel and restaurant recommendations. The LP is the most current of the three mentioned.

Worth it.,

Unless you know exactly where you want to go already which is highly unlikely, it might be worth having this book for the maps.Pay absolutely no attention to the guesthouse prices etc. Of course as soon as a guesthouse gets a good rating in the LP they put their prices up, this is the same everywhere in the world. In India however, they will actually create three more guesthouses with the same name and you will never know the difference until you walk past the real one. I miss India :p |
