A book for appreciating and understanding Bhutan
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I have traveled extensively in the Far East, but have never before to Bhutan, until now (2007). I always like to read up on places before I visit them and generally travel as independently as reasonably possible. I purchased both this book and the Lonely Planet guide and found the combination excellent. This book has more about the places, the people and their customs and the history. Don't expect it to be a comprehensive list of places to stay and places to eat. It contrasts well with Lonely Planet's backpacker's reference book image. I think this is a good book and doubt whether you will be disappointed if you buy it.
