Customer Reviews

Gujarat

Hi - The book appears to be very informative - lots of information for independent travellers - We are so immpressed It will be the only travel book we take . Easy to navigate, compact edition . Will update the review after use - we aim to travel for three weeks in Gujarat - that will be the real test ! happy travelling to you all yipeeeee

Accurate, useful and filled with great photos

This guide has lots of accurate details (restaurants and things to do in towns around the state, transportation info, prices, etc.) that proved very helpful to me during my time in Gujarat. As far as I know it's the only guide made just about Gujarat, so anyone who will be spending more than a few weeks there should probably pick this up. The writers and publisher clearly put a lot of effort into it, and it paid off.

Outstanding guide for the independant traveller

This guide is similar in style to the Lonely Planet series yet focuses on a single region - Gujarat. It includes suggested itineraries, personal contacts for tour guides, eco-tours, guides for places to stay, information for train connections as well as the usual (and unusual!) sightseeing. Given that I am going to be traveling around this region alone, I am finding the guide invaluable for planning my trip. Every chapter includes a section on 'helping out' - in a country as poverty stricken as India there is a lot of help needed. The book provides charities and organizations that need volunteers so that you can lend a hand - to give as well as take from the country you are visiting. The opening chapter also includes a guide to sustainability as a tourist - take only pictures etc. and respecting cultural differences. I think the book is easily the best guide I've read for any place I've visited. I will update this review when i return and know how well their information matches up to what I find there!
