5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive book written by a person of experience., June 17, 2005
I have been interested in Butan for the past 10 years, and when I got the amazing opportunity to visit this country in 2001, Pommaret's book was the first book I bought. I had read the whole thing over twice before I had visited the country, and it's factual yet interesting writing style, gave me information that made me the "expert" of our group (most of my companions hadn't read relly anything).
Pommaret is a person who has years of experience in dealing with the Himalayan region for over 20 years, and has written a few other books on Bhutan as well. The book has loads of large colorful pictures, interesting facts, and also draws from explorers from the past 230 years such as , White, Bogle, Turner, Griffith and Eden. Specific sites of interest from each open province are listed, and there is even details on every major trek offered by tour companies. There are books by people who travel to various countries, and then there are ones written by people who KNOW a particular country. Out of the 4 or 5 travel books I have read about Bhutan this is the "King James Version".

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Summary on Bhutan, December 20, 2005
By The Restless (Djibouti, Africa) - See all my reviews
This book is very useful for both people who read about Bhutan for the first time and those who are more acquinted with this magical buddhist kingdom. Pommaret selected the right material for this book and you are going to love the photographs also. Very factual and informative, thoroughly prepared. It will make you want to go there.
