Unlike the Cicerone guide, this book is extremely well put together, easy to find information, and really captures the unique qualities of the country.

LP do it again. The guide rightly focuses on facts for the visitor, explaining the practicalities of travelling to the country and pointing out how one can design a customised tour. It provides an excellent introduction to the religion, culture and customs of Bhutan and covers the main highlights of the country in a sensible 'following the road' style - so you come across points of interest in the book in the same order as you come acoss them while in a hi-lux. There is an exhaustve and mouth-watering section on trekking, with a detailed advice concerning trekking health. It you are thinking about visiting this beautiful country, buying this book will convince you.

Very helpful book. Comprehensive and insightful on a relatively little known country. Could not wait for updated version which is soon to be released but satisfied with this version.

Great - just what I was after!
True to description, quick to arrive - what more could I ask for? I guess I need to waffle on for a few more words to hit the requisite 20, but what more is there to say?
