I liked this travel guide (and I like Lonely Planet) but I didn't love it. On the one hand I appreciated having a small book specific to the area we were going to visit in India. On the other hand, I think it was a bit TOO limited in scope and could have had a little more info at times. It would still be okay 10% bigger. For example, I would have liked more detailed information about local transportation (e.g. I didn't fully understand the full gamut of train ticket options and what to do if. . .) and/or a broader glossary of Indian food (although we mostly saw Rajasthani food we did encounter other regional foods we were curious about but couldn't identify). Overalll it did serve us well.

Typical LP guide - but a bit more detailed since it focuses on the Golden Triangle region of India. Worth a peruse for the historical and cultural chapters before travel but not worth toting along during a trip.

I read this travel guide in preparation for my journey through Rajasthan for the coming three weeks. I think it covers all the essentials you need, to know what to expect and not to miss.

Good guide. Recommend,

Ok but a bit limited - could add in some more detailed information. We used it for Delhi, Jaipur, Ranthambore and Agra. I got a bit frustrated, as usual with the indexing or lack there of when trying to find specific information quickly as I usually do with the Lonely planet guide books - but we do still really like them.

Dependable guide. I'm glad I took it with me. Unlike the author, though, I would not recommend the Artist Hotel in Jaisalmer as a place to stay. (It's great as a place to visit for the music and a beer though).

If you are traveling to India. Get the Lonely Planet book and read it before you go. It will save you a lot of headache.

Eh. Space-saving, but format and indexing are not intuitive (standard LP complaint, though); found mistakes in Delhi Connaught Place maps/info as well.

A very informative book that came in quite useful for my Rajasthani trip!
