Botswana and Namibia by Lonely Planet
- Price: £16.99 Add to Basket
- The only combined guide to both Botswana and Namibia so useful as a space saver, although less reliable and less detailed than the Footprint and Bradt Guides.

- The backpackers bible, this is the most concise, yet comprehensive, guide available for those travelling across the country. Includes thorough information on a range of hotels, restaurants and getting around, and adequate cultural and historical background. One of the best Lonely Planets.
-
Rajasthan, Delhi & Agra by Lonely Planet
- Price: £15.99 Add to Basket

-

-
Belgium & Luxembourg by Lonely Planet

- Admirably exhaustive in its practical scope, this guide covers every aspect of budget German travel.
-
Maldives by Lonely Planet

-
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.
-
Bangladesh by Lonely Planet
- Price: £16.99 Add to Basket
- The only existing guide to Bangladesh until very recently, this Lonely Planet has good information on budget accommodation and travel logistics.
-
Munich, Bavaria & The Black Forest by Lonely Planet

- This decent guide covers eastern and western Nepal, Kathmandu, the Everest and Annapurna regions, and Langtang and Helambu. Also includes a section on Himalayan wildlife, 22 contour maps and detailed notes on treks including less visited alternative routes. Less reliable and detailed, however, than the Trailblazer series.
-
Nepal by Lonely Planet

-
China by Lonely Planet
- Price: £20.99 Add to Basket
- Although it contains a little less of the well-written cultural and historical detail found in the Rough Guide equivalent, this is the best guide for hotel listings and travel information for the backpacker on a budget.
-
Beijing by Lonely Planet
- Price: £12.99 Add to Basket
- Practical guide for the budget traveller, useful for travel logistics and hotel listings. Night-life and restaurant recommendations do not compete with the Time Out equivalent, however, it focuses too heavily on the mainstream tourist destinations and the maps are fairly weak.
-
Shanghai by Lonely Planet
- Price: £13.99 Add to Basket
- What the Lonely Planet lacks in background information and individuality, it makes up for with its hotel listings, easy-to-use format and travel logistics. For the budget traveller keen to get about the city with ease.

Mandarin Phrasebook by Lonely Planet
- Price: £4.99 Add to Basket
- A phrasebook and two-way dictionary which contains 3,500 words in Pinyin (Chinese transcribed into Roman alphabet), with a handy pronunciation guide, grammar and menu decoder.
