• 

  India by Rough Guide

  Price: £19.99    Add to Basket

  Sri Lanka by Rough Guide

• 

  Nepal by Rough Guide

  Price: £15.99    Add to Basket

  A reliable, practical guide with in-depth coverage of the entire country. Great for logistics, background information and accommodation, although we recommend buying a separate guide for trekking.

• 

  Cape Town by Rough Guide

  Price: £13.99    Add to Basket

  A typical practical guide from the Rough Guide team that is helpful for planning and travelling logistics for Cape Town, the Garden Route and the Winelands. It lacks in-depth information, enough accommodation listings (especially in peak season) or helpful maps.

• 

  China by Rough Guide

  Price: £18.99    Add to Basket

  A good mix of cultural, historical and practical information for the traveller on a budget.

• 

  Beijing by Rough Guide

  Price: £12.99    Add to Basket

  A good, practical guide with a decent amount of historical and cultural information. Does offer a slightly more discerning opinion than the Lonely Planet equivalent.

• 

  Shanghai by Rough Guide

  Price: £12.99    Add to Basket

  Clearly laid-out, easy-to-use guide for the traveller on a budget. Great information on travel logistics, decent background information and maps.

• 

  Hong Kong & Macau by Rough Guide

  Price: £13.99    Add to Basket

  A useful, practical guide for the traveller on a budget with helpful logistical information. Frustratingly, the hotel and restaurant listings are found grouped in the back.

• 

  Taiwan by Rough Guide

  Price: £15.99    Add to Basket

  The most detailed guide to Taiwan, although lacking in photographs, it is a good mix of practical and cultural information.

• 

  Korea by Rough Guide

  Price: £14.99    Add to Basket

  Most detailed guide to both North and South Korea and yet selective in its recommendations. Strong on practical information as well as cultural and historical background.

• 

  Philippines by Rough Guide

  Useful cultural and historical information, although much less reliable than the usual Rough Guides.

• 

  Japan by Rough Guide

• 

  Mexico by Rough Guide

  Price: £17.99    Add to Basket

  A reliable guide that is particularly useful on travel logistics for the more adventurous backpacker. Includes 100 pages on both Baja California and the Yucatan, but is perhaps a little light on historical and cultural information.

• 

  Guatemala by Rough Guide

  Price: £14.99    Add to Basket

  One of the very few guides to Guatemala, this Rough Guide offers reliable practical information with well-written cultural and historical background.

• 

  Costa Rica by Rough Guide

  Price: £15.99    Add to Basket

  In this case, the Rough Guide is actually less detailed than the Lonely Planet equivalent. However, there is more well-written background information on the history and culture.

  The best of the practical guides to Belize with a detailed section on history, wildlife and conservation.

• 

  Central America on a Budget by Rough Guide

  The difference between this Rough Guide and the Lonely Planet equivalent is probably a matter of taste, although this guide has slightly more selective recommendations and more cultural and historical information. Includes Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Savador, Panama and Costa Rica.

• 

  Ecuador by Rough Guide

  Price: £15.99    Add to Basket

  More detailed than the Lonely Planet equivalent, this guide contains all the practical information needed for travelling around Ecuador, 50 pages on the Galapagos and plenty of historical and cultural information.

• 

  Peru by Rough Guide

  Price: £14.99    Add to Basket

  A little less reliable than the Footprint equivalent, but the well-written cultural and historical information in this guide is a big plus. Includes approximately 100 pages on Cusco and the Sacred Valley.
