Lonely Planet India Paperback – 1 April 2022

Lonely Planet India

Lonely Planet India is the perfect choice for travellers who want both iconic highlights and off-the-beaten-path experiences. As Lonely Planet’s most comprehensive guide to India, it helps you explore famous landmarks while also uncovering hidden gems that many visitors miss.

I’ve personally travelled through India before, and this is actually the guidebook I used while planning my own trip. It was incredibly helpful for shaping my itinerary, especially when balancing well-known sights with more local, less touristy experiences.
