The
Lascelles 1:4,000,000 map of India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh &
Sri Lanka is probably the most useful general map of India; it was
recently updated and expanded. The Bartholomews map is similar, and is
widely available in India and overseas. The
Nelles Verlag series gives more detailed coverage, but you need to carry
five maps to cover the whole country. They are excellent maps, but
aren't widely available in India. Locally,
Nest & Wings produces a reasonable series of maps for Himalaya
regions. The Survey of India has maps covering all of India available
from its Delhi office. The maps are not all that useful since the
government will not allow production of anything at a reasonable scale
which shows India's sea or land borders, and many of them date back to
the 1970s. It is illegal to take any Survey of India map of larger than
1:250,000 scale out of the country. The
Government of India tourist office has a number of excellent giveaway
city maps and also a reasonable all-India map. State tourist offices do
not have much in the way of maps, but the Himachal Pradesh office has
three excellent trekking maps which cover the routes in that state. |
