5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent and very thorough guide,
By Aemad A. Aslam (Colleyville, US; Karachi, Pakistan; Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Footprint Pakistan Handbook (Paperback)
While in pursuit if my passion of travel, I have had the chance to use several types of guides, but never have I enjoyed reading any guide as this one. Very detailed, yet simply arranged, and excellent recommendations. Very accurate trekking information is also included in it, along with the typical "touristy" material. Maps could use a little more detail, as I saw it. Prices and other recommendations were excellent! Awesome job! If anyone is going to Pakistan, I would highly suggest getting this book. There are so many things that I have never known even though I was there for several months.
