 an exhaustive but not too accurate book December 7, 1998
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
lp's book on india is a must for westerners travelling for the first time to india. the book covers everything a tourist needs to know - including (and this is stressed all too often) all the negative things about india. as an indian, i find the book not very accurate, and at times misleading. but it certainly caters to the holier-than-thou attitude of most tourists from usa and some western europian countries who visit india - more often than not to find faults than appreciate a different culture!
 Yeah, yeah, irreplacable... October 16, 1998

Yes, this book is full of valuable info. It doesn't quite prepare you for the shock (though nothing does) of India itself, it does help you enjoy it when you can. (And when you can't, eat only bananas and yogurt for about 24 hours straight, trust me on this one). It would be nice if the book wouldn't be so heavy. If you are planning to go to only part of India, strongly consider the LP books that cover only the area(s) you will travel, they are much lighter and can be easily resold to locals who have no internet access. Of course the book is irreplacable as everyone clearly admits. Thank you LP for being so straightforward with your opinions.
Don't visit India without it! September 12, 1998

A fantastic guidebook to the mysteries of India. The Lonely Planet has become known as the 'Bible' of independent travelers the world around and guidebooks like this one have set that reputation. My wife and I spent three months in India and our sole source of information was the LP - India. It has a great blend of information pertaining to accomodations, food, sites, maps and plenty of history and mind opening stories. The Lonely Planet India guidebooks and Salman Rushdie's 'Midnight's Children' are all you need when visiting India.
Fantastic September 11, 1998
This book told me how to get out of the airport to the lay out of temples, local customs and behavior. A MUST for any traveller to India.
The one guidebook you should take to India with you. July 10, 1998

The lonely planet guidebook to India is the best one I have ever seen for India. The details and information that are in this book a very usefull. I use it even though I live in India. I read the book and find out new stuff about the city I live in.
