Excellent Guide To Pakistan
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
It gives you an insight into the history and the people of Pakistan, as well as everything a tourist should know, i.e. cheap places too stay, what to eat, how to travel, the local customs, etc. And, by the way, there's nothing wrong with the map, though perceptions may differ as to which part(s) of Kashmir are free & democratic and which are not.
Lonely Planet: Informative & Thorough (As Always)
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Without bringing my political affiliations and leanings into this review (...), I can safely vouch for this travel guide to Pakistan. Informative, thorough, honest and highly enjoyable, Lonely Planet has come through again! I utilized their travel books throughout my recent trip to India and Pakistan and was never led wrong (infact they have saved my behind a few times, especially in Pak), but overall enhanced my experience as they encouraged me to try new and different things while there and also gave me some pointers on how to interact with the locals. One negative point to mention: Lonely Planet Pakistan doesn't stress and/or inform about the heckling, whistling, and unwanted male attention foreign girls (even those who are of Indian origin) have to suffer through, enough.
A real companion throughout Pakistan
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Perhaps just below the usual Lonely Planet standard, this guidebook surely is a wonderful companion for your journey through Pakistan, filled with interesting as well as entertaining data and information, as well as tips for the traveller. There are some minor lacks, such as bad coverage of the battered Kashmir region, and perhaps too much focus on the usual tourist sites. Yet, all in all, the best guidebook on the country I ever found.

This is a wonderful book about Pakistan. I recently visited this beautiful country with very loving and friendly people. This book has all the information needed to see the most wonderful places in Pakistan.I really loved Islamabad. Now i do believe that it is one of the three most beautiful cities in the world. This book is a must read for eveyone, even if you are not visiting Pakistan anytime soon. You'll be delighted with the pictures.
