Reseña del editor:

In this completely revised and updated travel guide to India, "National Geographic Traveler" continues its highly acclaimed formula of combining in-depth description with spectacular photography, maps, and artwork. You'll find three-dimensional floor plans and detailed architectural drawings, plus indispensable regional and neighborhood maps. Special guided tours - including a rickshaw ride through Old Delhi and a drive through colonial Mumbai - provide an intimate glimpse of daily life. An extensive review on the country's vast history and rich culture leads the guide, while detailed sidebars throughout delve into India's heart and soul, exploring such diverse topics as Indian marriages, palace hotels, Mahatma Gandhi, and Indian spices. Broken down into eight sections, the guide begins in the capital city of Delhi and moves on to the far reaches of the subcontinent, including Rajasthan, the Deccan, Goa, and the Himilaya. Along the way, the reader is deftly guided to the most popular places to visit - the Taj Majal, the pink sandstone city of Jaipur, and the water palaces of Udaipur, for example - as well as plenty of lesser-known ones.
