Format:Hardcover
I found this guidebook an excellent help when travelling in these countries. The guide contains a lot of interesting background information about the sights, temples and cultures of these countries. Two of the main reasons I prefer this Footprint Guide over other guide books are, firstly, the detailed practical information given in the first few chapters about how to fly into and between these countries, visas, budgets etc. Secondly, most other guides cater for backpackers aiming to travel for peanuts. If you would like to read detailed reviews of accommodation and restaurants covering a very wide range of budgets, this book is for you. While naturally there is overlap with other guides, this one will help you avoid the overcrowded 'Lonely Planet' tourist traps. Recommended.

A good 'tourguide' with the information I need. It is informative. Relevant history is provided and it is not a so-called 'tourguide', it is also a book could give you knowledge about the destianation which you will go to soon. It is not heavy but with a large amount of inforamtion. Worth the price~!
Fabulous book

Very helpful. Lots of practical information. Lots of ranges of prices for accomodation and lots of interesting places to go/things to do. Lots of information about transport, borders, and very insightful. Much better than any lonely planet I have ever used - have planned most of my trip through this book, and will be taking it with me in 1 months time as is a perfect travel size with great maps!
