An Excellent Travel Companion,
By law_schoolin_it_up_biatch "law_schoolin_it_up... (fayetteville, ar) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet North India (Paperback)
This guidebook by the Lonely Planet was an excellent companion on my recent trip to India. The information was up-to-date and informative, yet never too wordy or boring. The "text-box" inserts were very entertaining while at the same time useful.This guide is perfect for those traveling on a budget or those who want to take a "first-class" trip across northern India. The maps in the book are very useful, as is the information about how not to get ripped off as a tourist. Highly recommended to everyone (of Indian origin or not) if you are contemplating a trip to India.

All you need are a plane ticket and this book!,

This review is from: Lonely Planet North India (Paperback)
I traveled in North India for two months, and I couldn't have done it without this book. Every hotel I stayed in was recommended by the book, and I never had a bad experience (and I only stayed in the cheapest hotel categories!). When I needed ideas on where to eat, I never regretted a choice from Lonely Planet. There aren't photos, so this book won't be very helpful if you aren't actually planning a trip, but this wasn't at all an issue when I was going to see everything in-person! Every category is arranged by city and price, so it's very easy to find what you need. This is NOT just for hardcore travelers who don't care about being comfortable! You truly could do no research whatsoever, fly over there with this book, and be just fine.
