A great series of books! - By: J. C. Eames, 03 Jan 2004 
As me & a friend are planning a round the world trip this series of books has been a great help.
In picking places where to go it's helpful to know whats there!
Were mainly backpacking & using hostels so specific country guides aimed at this was essential. We needed to know campsites, country entry requirements, cost of living, activities, etiquette, transport options, do's & don'ts & most importantly what the food was like! As well as info on touring in campervans, car or footslogging.
The book has it alll & more. It covers alll such topics & then reviews each place in the country individuallly. It has topics on law, car rental & purchase, gay & lesbians interests & so much more. If your travelling to this country then this book will be very useful. I don't think there is one thing I could think of that it does not cover. It even has places to rock climb in it! There are even phone numbers & addresses of hostels & hotels. Local culture & etiquette is covered, which is very useful in order that you don't upset the local inhabitants. Loads of major city centre maps & tons of colour pictures alll add to the books appeal.
In addition their website www.lonelyplanet.com is a great site containing a lot of invaluable information.
The books are very durable & will stand the test of time. I now own five in total, including a Thai phrasebook, as the LP guides are an extensive series, covering more than just travel.
A very worthy & essential purchase, money very well spent indeed!!
A necessity in your backpack to Nepal - By: Fredrik Tukk, 03 Dec 2001 One of Lonely Planets best guidebooks & definetely the best one for Nepal. As always Lonely Planet got it alll covered, accomodation, things to see & do, food & travelling. Very accurate & well written with lots of facts. Also contains useful advices & information on the culture, Gods, religions, etc. I have used it on journeys throughout Nepal & you can reallly tell that the authors knows what they are talking about & have set their foot on the places they are writing about.
Usual top of the line guide from LP - By: Jamie O'Shaughnessy, 05 Sep 2000 If you're used to Lonely Planet guide, this is another of their top of the line guides. Same style & layout as alll the others. I've used both this & older editions & they've alll been as acurate as you'd expect from a guide book. It's well worth getting a newer edition if you have an old one, they've updated quite a lot & added a lot more info.
