I'm pretty partial to the Rough Guides. They're a little skimpy on reviews of hotels and restaurants, but have tons of description and background about sights, history, and culture. Rough Guide India is about 3 years old, so I was excited to discover that they put out this regional guide just last year. Will probably combine this with Lonely Planet India.

As always, you have to account for that the fact that prices rise every year. And as always, the Rough Guide doesn't list exact prices for hotels, but instead just puts each into a price bracket. *sigh*
Still it's an excellent companion and I'm glad I took it with me.

So far, we've been really happy with this one. More readable than LP, easier to carry.

Found it accurate and useable.
