Dear Readers,
Well, I have bought this book just before I went to Mumbai to visit a friends' wedding. I bought the book to get an impression of the country and because I thought I will go back there more than once. I thought using book for Mumbai to start with would be enough. The book is good and Mumbai brief in description, but the maps of the city should be a little bit more detail. The hotel descriptions are fine, although having arrived in Mumbai other hotels/hostels might be good quality and cheaper. Sights, like gateway to India are good described and people there are not too nice. A good point to be improved is the Shopping, Crossroads Shopping Centre is bad, nothing really good to buy, I was looking for Indian Cricket stuff and and Bundra prooved to be much better. In terms of Mumbai this Lonely Planet is possibly not the best choice, but the other choices of LP are just very costly all the time. Really have in advance before buying the book.

Good basic introduction to India
17. März 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
Having grown up in India I thought I could wing it when we went for an extended stay in India. We were going to be living in Bombay, now called Mumbai...a city that I had never lived in, but had visited briefly 15 years ago. But, once we landed in India and started exploring Bombay, we got suggestions and opinions from various people. Some of these suggestions were good, and some not so good. It was then that I decided to reach out and buy a copy of Lonely Planet India. (I believe India was the first country Lonely Planet people wrote about.)
I had previously used Lonely Guide editions to different countries, and found their guide books very useful. I thought their book on India might help me in discovering Bombay and other parts of India.
After having used the book for a while, I have mixed opinions about the book. I think the mixed opinion stems from two reasons: one India is too vast a country for one book to capture everything, and two having grown up in India my expectations maybe a little bit more demanding of the book.
The strength of the book is that it provides a good basic introduction to the country, and a broad overview of the history and culture along with a laundry lists of do and don'ts that are very useful things to remember. For instance, they do an excellent job of providing information on various modes of transportation and how to reach your destination.
With referfence to Bombay the book provides a good thumbnail sketch of the city and some good basic information on what to do, where to eat etc etc. However, the information provided on the city is confined mostly to the southern tip (referred to as "town" by the local denizens) of this vast sprawling city. They miss out on some interesting things about other parts of Bombay, and the new eating joints etc etc. What they have failed to capture is the changing and dynamic nature to Bombay.
I would recommend this book to those who are visiting India for the first time. If you need more information you might want to buy a couple of travel magazines that are available in news stands or pick up any one of those handy travel brochures. And if you have any friends who have travelled to India do ask them for suggestions.

Simply the best...
20. September 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
I traveled through northern India relying solely on Lonely Planet's advise on hotels and places to see - it never let me down. It gave great advise that saved much time and expense regarding the unreliability of airlines running to and from Leh, in Kashmir. If you're going outside of a structured tour package, this book is a necessity - no other guide compares.

No one guide has it all....
20. September 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
One should never rely on just one source for a major adventure, as any trip to India is, and this very complete guide is no exception. This guide has excellent information on the history, culture and people of India, and the color section on Sacred India is a nice touch. It has lots of very practical information on what to bring, what you can and can't photograph, what to read before you go, how to avoid "cultural misunderstandings." It's helpful for preparing people for the assault Westerners often experience--ask for directions and you have a friend/guide for life, often accompanied by a very aggressive demand for money. The health and safety information is also pretty good--except that they say that tap water in cities is OK to drink--ignore this advice! I find this guide limited in its retaurant and hotel selections, especially if you're not a low-budget or student traveller. Also, information changes constantly--internet cafes spring up and close overnight, new restaurants and hotels open up every day, and the political situation bears watching up until the day you leave. And of course no guide book has really good maps. But why limit yourself--the internet is chock full of information on this wonderful, confusing, fascinating country!
