The first comprehensive guidebook which threads the 17 UNESCO-designated World Cultural Heritage Sites in India as a tourist circuit. These include the Taj Mahal, Ajanta Caves and the Churches of Goa. With extensive research in historical as well as architectural details, this is an invaluable companion not only for the tourist but also the armchair traveller. Over 200 specially commissioned photographs and easy-to-follow site maps make this illustrated exploration of India's living past a visual delight. As the sites are scattered across the country, often far removed from the beaten path, we have given comprehensive and up-to-date information to make these sites easily accessible. Details of visa formalities, transportation, tourist information offices and hotels have been provided to make the traveller's journey as comfortable as possible.
