A whopping 452 maps, town plans, and transportation routes--all in easy-to-use formats--makes this a definitive guide for a long-haul trip around Asia. Detailed visa information is given on hard-to-enter countries and the latest news on border crossings. 16 color photos.
Excellent guidebook that suited an independent traveler that didn’t need hand holding. Their recommendations were spot-on and guided my journey through Asia in 1998 and 1999.
This is the best travel guidebook of all time. Its numerous, handwritten maps are charming and informative at a glance. Sadly, it has never been updated, so I am not sure how useful it would be today, but it was my bible for a 6 month trip around the world in 2000.
