Immense, vibrant and infinitely diverse, India has always fascinated travelers with its ancient and complex culture, dazzling contrasts, and frequently breathtaking physical beauty. A nation deeply rooted in the past, India is part pure spectacle, part human pageant, with an almost bewildering profusion of different races, languages, and customs. From the dramatic, snow-swept ranges of the northern Himalayas to the lush tropical atmosphere of the south, India offers some of the most stunning scenic visions in the world. Travel in India is always an intoxicating jolt to the senses-often overwhelming, it is always unforgettable. Traveler's India Companion is a practical companion to guide ht tourist through this challenging and compelling country, vividly describing the essence of India-not only its magnificent cultural heritage but also the vitality, color, and humor of the Indian people.

Few islands excite the imagination or possess a mystique so seductive to the senses as Cuba. Famous the world over for its own brand of state socialism, Cuba is a powerful cocktail-joyous, lush and rhythmic, yet equally embattled, run-down and resilient. Here, you can marvel at well-preserved colonial architecture, enjoy its exuberant musical heritage of salsa, cha-cha-cha, mambo and son, and be intrigued by the heady nostalgia of its past. Lying only 150 km (just over 90 miles) from Key West, Florida, Cuba-the largest of the Antilles islands-is one of the United States' closest neighbors, whose long-standing embargo is one of the more enduring contradictions of history. Cuba is also one of the most Hispanic of Caribbean nations, where the cross-infusion of African culture has created a magnificent tradition of music and dance. The Traveler's Cuba Companion points you to the best the island has to offer, from the historic beauty of its colonial towns to its vibrant nightlife; from its still-pristine tropical beaches to the lush, fauna-rich forests of its mountains; and of course, you must sample the distractions of the island's sweet dark rum and cigars. Cuba is both compelling and irresistible, while the Cuban people themselves are among the most genuinely friendly and welcoming people you are likely to encounter anywhere.

In a country where nature is king, this wonderful guide is the essential handbook for anyone who wishes to discover its natural splendor and constant progression of scenic contrasts--whether readers want to revel in almost every kind of outdoor adventure in a new boom of eco-tourism; stay at luxury lodges; appreciate the spectacular displays of its gardens, the growing reputation of its wineries, the fascinating culture of the indigenous Maori; or simply go fly-fishing for some of the finest trout on earth. Traveler's Companion New Zealandexplores the ever-changing coastline, subtropical rainforests, glacial lakes, alpine mountains, dense glaciers, and smoldering volcanoes and geysers, as well as the relaxed ambience of this faraway nation -- predominantly a mixture of Europeans, Maori and Polynesians -- whose unpretentious and friendly hospitality adds much to the charm of New Zealand.
