The guide was extremely useful while traveling for five weeks through India, as well as in trip preparation. One big downer, the Kindle version had no table of contents or index. I ended up building my own index in notes by searching through my itinerary.

I didn't find the suggestions in this Lonely Planet useful, nor I found it a valuable source of ideas on where to go. Everything mentioned in the guide is almost a must see, when if fact it might not be worth the bus journey so I didn't find this guide useful for India. You'd better look elsewhere...

A bit old but Lonely Planet quality. Histories, good maps, photographs. Even if you can't make the tirp right now a good place for some vicarious traveling.

Tremendous amount of information but not a book you can carry with you. I used this a reference prior to the trip and took Fodors with me.
