India, a Travel Survival Kit

Lonely Planet's "Travel Survival Kits" cover one country, or a small group of countries, in depth, with travel and accommodation options to suit a range of budgets. These guides are designed to be easy to use, providing practical travel information in a lively, entertaining style. Features of this series include: cultural and historical background; detailed maps of cities, towns and rural areas; information on getting there and getting around; practical information on every aspect of travel; health and safety advice; information on local cuisine; advice on customs and etiquette; key words, phrases and basic grammar of local languages; and names of places, restaurants and hotels in foreign script where applicable. India is as vast as it is crowded, as opulent as it is squalid, and as lush as it is arid. The fifth edition of this award-winning guidebook contains detailed and up-to-date information that will help travellers survive and enjoy travel in this sometimes difficult, but awe-inspiring country.
