India is enormous. At 1,237,062 square miles, it's more than five times the size of France. Yet how many maps does the average guide to India provide, and with what amount of detail? With nearly 100 pages of accurate maps, the Lonely Planet atlas for India and Bangladesh is a slim but liberating addition to your travel gear. It contains travel information in five languages and a comprehensive index; the atlas is an invaluable travel aid, unlocking India from Srinagar to Nagercoil and Jamnagar to Dibrugarh.
Book Description
With full-color maps throughout. Travel information and roadtesting provided by guidebook author Hugh Finlay.

Passport, Wallet and Atlas March 1, 2006
If you know where you want to go then I would agree with the above reviewer- a guidebook will tell you about nearby sites and how to get there and for that you can get by without an atlas. But for those who want to explore a particular region- how else are you going to plot an itinerary? This atlas is fully indexed by place, and also by beaches, capes & headlands, caves, forts, islands, mountians & passes, rivers, lakes, & bays, ruins and temples. And no matter how good a guidebook- only an atlas like this will assure you that you haven't missed anything of interest whereever you happen to be.
Map Scale is 4cm = 50K (1.5" = 31 miles)
For security reasons (I'm told) quality maps are not easy to find in India- and rarely for sale.
Indispensable! December 18, 1998

While working on an on-going university research project I have spent five years driving the back roads of India. This book has saved my sanity as well as my tires and axles. It is by far and away the most helpful road atlas available.
Never used it.... October 16, 1998

The maps are better than what most Indians have ever seen in their lives, which is exactly why travellers don't need it. If you are taking public transport around the country, you get plenty of information about how to go where from LP India or from information at train stations, bus stations and other travellers. It simply isn't worth the excess weight (in a rucksack). If on the other hand you are cycling or have your own motorized vehicle, this would be irreplacable (so be careful who you show it to).
