Beware,
By A Customer
This review is from: Footprint Indian Himalaya Handbook (Paperback)
This books promises but does not deliver. Unless you're in an organized tour being taken around and just want to read about the places you visit, then this book is hardly of any use. For example, directions for getting from one place to another are either scarce or vague.For trekkers - don't bother even opening the book.
