Complete Catalogue India 2014 Escape to the wondrous world of movies Making spiritual journeys easier
country & city guides Hello! I can t escape stating the fact that we have come a long way, in less than two years, as a successful publisher in the Indian sub-continent. We began with ten exciting outbound guides (September 2012). This was possible due to excellent work done by the India team (see the pictures) with the support of the world s leading travel expert with 40 glorious years behind it. Close on the heels of the ten international guides, came a bouquet of domestic titles. March 201 marked the launch of Short Escapes, a series aimed at weekend travel from the top three Indian metros: Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. Written and researched by a team of hand-picked authors, these three guides give dozens of options for everyone the nature lover, the heritage buff, the wildlife enthusiast, the spa seeker and many other keen travellers. state page 8 guides thematic page 10 guides Temple Trips South India another exclusive guide from Lonely Planet India is a tribute to spiritual holidays. Planning a rendezvous with the gods has never been easier! 50 Great Adventures, aimed at driving the armchair traveller to some daredevilry in the Indian outdoors, will be out soon. pocket page 12 guides We at Lonely Planet always provide you with travel ideas through our content. Go out, buy the Travel, which will help you before, during and after the travel. Do tell us how enjoyable your journey was and how the guides made your experience better. Watch this space for digital offerings. Travellers also wanted Pocket with competitive pricing for quick and easy references to destinations. In response we published Holidays by Shatabdi and Summer Holidays. Sesh Seshadri Director and General Manager Lonely Planet India contact@lonelyplanet.co.in South India, our first regional guide, is a colourful mosaic of Southern flavours. To follow are two more guides in the same series: East & Northeast India and North India. trade & reference guides page 7 & 1 A landmark in Lonely Planet India s history is the launch of Filmi Escapes India s first travel guide dedicated to cinematic locations across the country. Covering Bollywood as well as regional cinema, this is one book that no cineaste can resist. For those wanting a more comprehensive coverage of a region or state, there was more in store: guides on Goa, Kerala and Rajasthan (launched in 201). The next in this series is Jammu & Kashmir. Theme-led holiday plans got a fillip in the form of another series born last year: Beach Escapes was the launch title, followed by Hills. Both these guides help you choose a domestic holiday according to your preference: seaside or hills. We haven t forgotten the traveller who loves to explore foreign countries. In the international series, Malaysia is the latest addition. short page 6 escapes page 2 regional page 14 guides We listened to Indian travellers and holiday-makers to create what they asked for in a Travel Guide: Cheers!
