Rajasthan, Delhi & Agra by Rough Guide
- Price: £14.99 Add to Basket
- The most comprehensive of the guides available on these three cities with helpful practical advice and decent cultural and historical information.
-
Rajasthan, Delhi & Agra by Lonely Planet
- Price: £15.99 Add to Basket
- The Lonely Planet guides are particularly good in India and Southeast Asia, but this one is a little less detailed than the Rough Guide equivalent.
-
South India by Insight
- Price: £14.99 Add to Basket
- Similar to the Eyewitness guides, this is a rather unwieldy but beautifully illustrated cultural guide. Divided into sections which focus on temples, museums, palaces and wildlife, it is less useful for travelling logistics and accomodation. Does not include Mumbai.
-
Love Bangalore by Love Guides
- £22.00 Price: £19.80 Add to Basket
- The creme de la creme of guides, beautifully designed by local craftsmen, printed on hand made paper and placed inside a silk bag. Inside, hand-drawn illustrations sit beside the best recommendations from Bangalore locals.
-
South India by Footprint
- £15.99 Price: £14.39 Add to Basket
- A slightly more up-market, very well-researched practical guide. Includes sections on Mumbai and Goa.
-
Birds of Southern India by Helm
- £24.99 Price: £22.49 Add to Basket
- Includes Goa, Kerala, Pondicherry and the Maldives with 87 colour illustrated plates and over 600 species. Some users may find the key slightly complicated and there are no distribution maps.
-
Mumbai and Goa by Time Out
- £12.99 Price: £11.69 Add to Basket
- The most reliable of the city guides with good information on a range of activities, things to see, restaurants and bars. Also includes in-depth information on where to go in Goa.
-

Kerala Pocket Guide by Berlitz

- Most detailed and comprehensive guide to this area of Southern India.
-
Birds of Pakistan
- Price: £24.99 Add to Basket
- Covering over 670 species of birds with colour plates, text and maps, this is a comprehensive field guild to Pakistan.
-
Pakistan by Insight
- Price: £16.99 Add to Basket
- A vibrant photographic guide with plenty of historical and cultural information including sections on painted wagons and the Great Game. The practical information is all listed at the back which might prove frustrating for travellers relying on this for travel logistics and accommodation.
-
Pakistan & the Karakoram Highway by Lonely Planet
- Price: £15.99 Add to Basket
- Probably a good guide to support the lack of practical information in the Insight equivalent. Includes approximately 100 pages on the Karakoram Highway and a section on trekking.
-

- Price: £15.99 Add to Basket
- A brand new guide from Bradt which has an excellent, balanced mix of practical information, culture and history for the traveller on any budget.

- A compact, fold-out guide with listings of the chicest hotels, the most luxurious spas and the trendiest places to eat and drink. Perfect for the high-end traveller seeking the glamorous side of Sri Lanka.
-
Sri Lanka by Lonely Planet
- Price: £15.99 Add to Basket
- One of the more detailed guides from Lonely Planet, with good information for independent travel in the south of the island. However, this guide is weaker on the north and there are some inaccuracies with their travel information.
-
Maldives by Globetrotter
- Price: £10.99 Add to Basket
- Laminated, pocket-sized travel pack including a short guide and a pull-out map (1:500,000). Probably the most useful when there isn't much to differentiate between the Globetrotter, the Bradt and the Lonely Planet guides to the Maldives.
-
Maldives by Bradt
- Price: £15.99 Add to Basket
- This guide is separated into two parts: the first has as much general cultural and historical information as you will find in any guide, the second is a specific guide to Male and the Atolls. Includes good maps and a useful index of the resorts with the price, number of rooms and distance from the airport.
