1) Paperback Book Bhutan (Country Guide) by Lonely Planet. Full of good ideas, good list of tour groups (must go on a tour) especially locally owned. Good information on what to do, costs, etc.¤

2) Paperback Book Bhutan (Country Guide) by Lonely Planet. In anticipation of a trip to Bhutan in 2008 I was looking for a travel guide and opted to buy Lonely Planet´s. I read it cover to cover and found to contain very good information, advice, tips, descriptions, recommendations, etc. I travel extensively worldwide and Bhutan will be a novel adventure. It brings back memories of my trip to Tibet in 2000. I highly recommend this guide.¤

3) Paperback Book Bhutan (Country Guide) by Lonely Planet. Hello!

I´d been searching for a book on Bhutan which could provide me with a little bit of everything about the country viz. the history, geography, people and the culture. I have searched for books on Bhutan in several book stores around. It was so hard to find one in English but I think this one will do.

May be, finally......... I have found the book I´d been looking for.¤

4) Paperback Book Bhutan (Country Guide) by Lonely Planet. I bought this guide before my first trip to Bhutan, and it helped me immensely in planning my tour. It contains detailed information about the country--history, culture, geography, and facts for travelers. And it gives accurate information about the trekking routes and cultural tours. As is typical for Lonely Planet publications, this one is interesting and well written, and I found the information to be relevant to my trip. It is not easy to travel to Bhutan (there are many government restrictions), and this book made everything easier. I had such a successful, fun trip that I´ve been back several times (www.jachungtravel.com), and I still refer to this edition of the guide. It´s packed with good information, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to go to Bhutan.¤

5) Paperback Book Bhutan (Country Guide) by Lonely Planet. Lonely Planet is unbelieveable! They continually pump out the HIGHEST quality guidebooks, and they´ve done it again with this edition covering Bhutan. I have spent a good portion of my life researching, and hording information on Bhutan, and have found Lonely Planet´s guidebook to contain everything and more that the traveller could ever want...with two exceptions. I think that the lack of the U´cen script in the language chapter is a serious mistake. Lonely Planet has the capacity to print in the U´cen script as they did so in their Tibet edition. My other qualm is with the sparse coverage of the smaller and admittedly FAR less visited dzongkhags (districts) (i.e., Daga, Samdrup Jongkhar, Pema Gatshel, Zhemgang, Tsirang, etc.). Lonely Planet, resolve these issues and your book will be the best it could be.¤

6) Paperback Book Bhutan (Country Guide) by Lonely Planet. Search for fried ferns, jellied cowskins, and dried yak cheese at Thimphu´s weekend market. Be blessed with a 10-inch penis at Chimi Lhakhang, the home of the ´Divine Madman.´ Dance with snowlions and banter with clowns at the pick of Bhutan´s colorful festivals. Hike up to the gavity-defying Tiger´s Nest monastery, reputedly held on to the sheer cliff face by the hairs of angels.

Understand murals and monsters with in-depth coverage of Bhutanese Buddhism and culture by our regional expert. Special trekking chapter brings Himalayan peaks that little bit closer... Find out more and swap yeti-spotting tips at lonelyplanet.com¤
