5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for a great country, December 23, 2005
By M. Z. Amin (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Pakistan is among the tourism world's best kept secrets, and this book throws open those secrets very well. Lonely Planet has always been good with detail and comprehensive coverage, and that trend continues with its coverage on Pakistan.

Without the off-the-beaten track records, I would have missed some of the greatest historical and cultural artifacts that Pakistan has to offer. And the guide truly works as you trek up north into Pakistan's majestic mountains that offer the most mind-blowing natural beauty - even India's Kashmir area is nothing compared to the rugged and untouched beaty of the Swat River Valley all the way to whitewater rafting areas in Gilgit.

So when you head to Pakistan, definitely take this book along.

5.0 out of 5 stars 7th edition publcication date is May 2008, June 8, 2008
The first five reviews listed here pre-date the May 2008 publication of the 7th edition of the guidebook, and refer to comments on earlier editions. Please submit reviews only on this edition of the guidebook, not on previous editions. Amazon should correct this oversight. Contributing authors, John Mock & Kimberley O'Neil
