Lonely Planet India 18 (Travel Guide)

I finally had to buy a new Lonely Planet Guide to India. My old edition has fallen apart after 8 trips and 18 months in India! Their recommendations of hotels (budget and luxury) and restaurants, tea houses, markets, shops are uniformly on target. Their info re: train schedules is accurate - mostly - but you should always double check anyway. The background info about history, sites and temples is so informative! A few blank pages at the back of the book would be helpful for notes. You cannot survive in India without this book!

An excellent rundown of the regions I ended up visiting and could anticipate with the help of Lonely Planet.

The guide was extremely useful while traveling for five weeks through India, as well as in trip preparation. One big downer, the Kindle version had no table of contents or index. I ended up building my own index in notes by searching through my itinerary.

2nd hand, Great Price, Slow Delivery…

Always a fan of Lonely Planet guide books; this one is no exception. Chock full of info, very practical and detailed on helpful hints, practical know hows and informative on history, culture and guidance for a variety of traveler interests. The suggested itineraries are helpful to narrow down options, especially when covering such a large and diverse country. You can't go wrong with LP.

Even Indians in India adore the systematic details of this guidebook. A thrilling surprise for themselves!

Great price and very quick shipping!

There is a 19th edition now updated with the COVID 19 pandemic in mind. I will buy the new version at same price. Also the copy sent to me was without the pullout card.
