Editorial Review: Synopsis: Once seen as pure backpacker territory, South India now attracts all kinds of travellers - and cheap domestic flights make it incredibly accessible. This work features in-depth coverage of Goa's beaches and Kerala's backwaters; and detailed itineraries and 50 maps to help you find whatever drew you here: spiritual experiences, undiscovered pockets or astounding temples and bazaars.

 Rating:  - Don't leave home without it!I'd bought my flight tickets, travel insurance and the all important Visa for entering India. Next on the list was the guide book. It was a choice of this one or the Rough Guide. Both were published around the same time, and I've used both before for different countries, so I'm happy with their layout and content. However, choosing the right guide this time seemed far more difficult. Both contained detailed information about the places I plan to visit. However, I found some bits were present in one book, but not the other, and vice-versa. In the end I decided to go for both books. I'm travelling in South India for 3 months, so I thought it would be worth the luxury of having two guides. Having read both ...

It was very usful including all details about resaonable hotel and transportation, however many prices such as hotel price has been changed lots and I find out this is annoying. Hope they can update about that but other than that it is good guide book to find out South India Rating: - Accurate and DependableFrom the restaurants to the hotels and places to see described,this book is the ideal guide to this region.We relied on it completely when we were in Tamil Nadu and it was wonderful.Made our holiday very worthwhile and relieved a lot of the stress of finding a place to stay or somewhere to eat.It also describes the region and its historical atractions well. Rating: - True to life!South India has never been more beautiful and Lonely Planet does full justice to this sun kissed land. As always outstanding research by Lonely Planet - the recommendations for the ethnic restaurants "udipi" cuisine are real gems. Each and every one of them I tried for Thirvananthapuram were finger licking good. Bus fares have changed since book was published but the increase of 2 US cents won't change your plans to follow the recommended itineraries. We had a thrilling time touring South India following Lonely Planet's guide page by page. Rating:  - South of India coveredLonely Planet has divided India into two more detailed versions, North India and South India. Although they are just as thick on their own as the India guide, I do lack the more detail and depth that you should expect. The South guide is better and more detailed though than the North, so if you are covering the south extensively it could be worth considering to buy. This said, the Lonely Planet guides are very good for Asia in particular and the South India guide is not an exception to this rule. If you are planning to travel all over India, I would recomend you to buy only the Lonely Planet India guide instead of North and South India together. |
