Summary: Lots of pictures but skimpy on details.
Comment: Apart from the scary, unappeasing cover, the book is nice. Good addition to keep out to see and browse for the wonderful pictures. Another great thing are the sidenotes that are quite informative and detailed. The maps are GREAT, albiet slightly less detailed. There are no walking or trekking maps within this guide.
I would have preferred more details on each area. For example more detailed itineraries, or walking itineraries. Also, no trekking information is available in the text. No info on Kashmir in this one either!
An okay book. I rather prefer the other guidebook "Pakistan Handbook". Less pictures in that one, but much more details.
Rating: 5
Summary: MORE INFORMATION CAN ONLY BE GLEANED FROM A PHYSICAL VISIT!
Comment: Extensively researched one gets the full impression of the vast nation that is Pakistan. All the varied regions, races, peoples, and languages come alive in this impressive volume. With a history as ancient as that of Mesopotamia and Egypt, modern Pakistan's history isn't merely an extension of India, but appears as a crossroads between the Mideast and South Asia. Many fought to gain a foothold in Pakistan including: Persians, Greeks, Arabs, Turks, Afghans, Sikhs, and lastly the Anglo-Indians of the British Empire. The sharp contrasts between rich and poor, old and new, and the struggles of the varied population to maintain an identity come alive. All you need is this excellent guide and you can navigate Pakistan like a native!
