Book Reviews of Lonely Planet Nepal (Country Guide)
Book Review: Detailed info!
Summary: 5 Stars
I really only used the info regarding Kathmandu since that is the only place I visited but the information given was accurate even the warning about the electricity going out all of a sudden for hours in the city. That was fun to experience and thankfully we read it in the book. The best recent book I could find on Nepal.
