Book Review: Lonely Planet always delivers
Summary: 5 Stars
I had already purchased the Rough Guide to South India, but decided to order Lonely Planet's South India guide too, just to have a second opinion or different take. After having read the Rough Guide and now the Lonely Planet guide, I would say that the Lonely Planet guide is a bit more user friendly and gives you more "ideas" about how to plan your trip. It has an "Itineraries" section, complete with maps of each itinerary, that give you ideas of possible trips and how much time you'd need for each. Itineraries include "classic routes", "roads less travelled", and "tailored trips", with different trips suggested under each category. This can be very helpful in taking on India, which is a huge country with much to see and do, even when focusing on "just" the south. The book is also a bit smaller and lighter than the Rough Guide. I will probably bring both books on our trip, just so I can read each book's section on our stops, to make sure I'm not missing anything. But if I was buying just one book, I'd buy the Lonely Planet South India guide.
