Book of the Month -- May

The Traveller's Guide to Planet Earth

The monthly subscriptions of "Lonely Planet" magazine has had the desired effect and so, very soon I will be packing my bags and be off the the Himalayas to scramble around the hills and snow and take a break from all the humidity of Mumbai.

Not surprisingly so, my Book of the Month for May is all about travel, more so the adventure seekers who like to go off the beaten track and explore something new.

"The Traveller's Guide to Planet Earth" is based on the amazing BBC documentary series of the same name. It has now been published as a book by Lonely Planet.

Divided into 10 chapters, each containing fascinating travelogues and breathtaking photos, this book covers 50 destinations across the planet earth; from the hottest deserts to the frozen poles, the deepest seas to the highest mountains, it has all the information you will ever need if you want to go visit those places. And believe me, you WILL want to go there!!

This book is a real treasure for all those who more often than not suffer from Wanderlust and itch to pack their bags and go exploring.

Last Words: Be prepared to get overwhelmed, because this book will show you a side of our planet that has never been seen before :)
