I bought this guide because I liked The Rough Guide to Jordan. What I really like about Rough Guides is that they have a lot of historical and cultural context. I specifically bought this guide because I wasn't 100% sure where I was going to be in India. Of course, you don't get as much information about specific places as when you would buy the guide to that place (for example, to Delhi). There's a lot of good, useful information in this guide and it's pretty up-to-date. If you want a ton of pictures, then this isn't for you, but this is why I like the Rough Guides. I need the information, not the pictures!

I did pick a few restaurants, but sometimes I thought they were a bit odd and didn't really understand why the writers chose certain places. To each his own.

Note that this is a pretty heavy guide. I schlepped it all over the place, but it got to be a bit tiring.
