Bhutan (Country Guide) Review
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.
Bhutan (Country Guide) Overview
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

Lonely Planet Frustrates in Kindle Edition - Z. Marta - Los Angeles, CA
Hi. I am actually in Bhutan as I write this. We are a "Lonely Planet" only household and travel consistently throughout the year. But, Lonely Plan for Bhutan on a Kindle is driving me crazy! Often "click on" does not go to the correct section. Maps are too small (even with Aa) to do much good. And you really need color for maps. So, there is still is the great information, but the Kindle edition leaves something to be desired. I am about to go out and buy the paper copy.

The book is new and most informative. It arrived quickly. I have yet to finish it but it appears to contain all the information I need for planning a trip to Bhutan.
