Summary: short on detail
Comment: India is really too big to be adequately covered in a single guidebook. That was one of the main reasons I used Lonely Planet's "South India" while travelling there in December 2003. Some of the information, particularly prices for accommodation was out of date, but this is to be expected of a guide book that has been in print for more than two years. What disappointed me about this book was that even though it only covered part of India and should be less constrained by space considerations it was frustratingly short on detail in various ways. Some places could have had more detailed coverage and there were still many places omitted completely. I also think Lonely Planet stretches the definition of South India a bit far by including chapters on Maharashtra and Orissa. Less states and more detail would make this guide book much better value for money.
Rating: 5
Summary: As always, lonely planet excels
Comment: You can never go wrong with lonely planet.
The Wheelers have made life so much easier for travellers the world over. Even though I live in South India I have bought this book and use it like a reference. It gives me ideas for what to do over weekends.
South India is probably wrongly named as it also includes states of India which are not considered to be 'south' of the country (e.g. Maharashtra and Goa). Nonetheless an absolute must for anyone living / travelling to 'south' India.
In some places the info is dated (the edition is of October'01) and needs to be updated.
