Customer Reviews

useful, and good luck finding any others...
If you're looking at this review, and are interested in a map of Bhutan, you probably already know there just aren't many such maps available in the world. In fact, even this one is hard to find. It did the job for me on my recent trip there, and helped me identify the Himalayan peaks I saw from Dochu La, although the elevation listed on my copy for Jhomolari seems a bit high.

A useful map for those visiting Bhutan
I have traveled extensively in the Far East, but have never before to Bhutan, until now (2007). I always like to read up on places before I visit them and since I generally travel as independently as reasonably possible, so I like to take a map.
Maps of such countries are never as detailed as one might expect in more industrialized countries, but of course, that's usually why one's going there in the first place.
This map is certainly as good as the rest, if not better, and a useful addition to the travel documentation a prepared traveler would like to have with them.

Adequate but not much more
I am going to Bhutan and was anxious to see a map to really see where I was going. It was just adequate. I think a map for such a mountainous
region should be more topographical with elevations shown. It would be better with valleys and mountains more clearly delineated. I guess there is not much out there for maps of Bhutan, but it could be some much better. The back of the map is absolutely blank and could be filled with either information or photos of the highlights of the country with map coordinates so you would know where to find them.
