<p>The Cave-temples at Ajanta and Ellora are without doubt one of the most remarkable sights in India. Excavated from solid rock, each temple took years to complete. The energy of the friezes, the majesty of the architecture and the detailed iconography are guaranteed to delight and astound the visitor. While the architectural feat of Ajanta is staggering, it is the paintings, with their luminous colours, grace of composition and vivid depiction of the drama of human life that have really captured the world's imagination. At Ellora, the ultimate accomplishment of rock-cut architecture is to be found at the Kailasa temple. Richly carved and embossed, the temple typifies the remarkable imagination, skill and perseverance of those who brought the temples into being over 1,500 years ago. Ajanta &amp; Ellora is one of a series of books providing a unique visual journey to a number of key travel destinations. Featuring stunning colour photography, illuminating photo captions, accompanied by an in-depth essay on each country or place and an interesting collection of facts and figures, these books will inspire travelers to visit new places and provide a lasting record of places already seen. Each is a handsome souvenir or gift.</p>

Pakistan is South Asia's best-kept secret. Ushering the mighty Indus River from the snow-clad peaks of the Karakorams to the warm waters of the Arabian sea, Pakistan is home to a civilization as old as ancient Egypt - yet is a key player in daily headlines. It is an Islamic republic guided by a resurgent faith, but whose heart still stirs to the wail of bagpipes. Here the traveler finds a variety of landscapes, of peoples, of architectures, and of bazaar bargains worthy of a country twice its size. History buffs, ethnic enthusiasts, tea-shop idlers, shoppers, photographers, strollers, trekkers, and mountaineers can find what they are looking for in Pakistan.
