India at 1:2,900,000 on an indexed road map with topographic and tourist information, printed on light, waterproof and tear-resistant plastic paper. The map, part of Reise Know-How’s highly acclaimed World Mapping Project, is double-sided to provide the best balance between a good scale and a convenient size sheet.

Coverage includes Nepal, Bhutan, southern Tibet with Lhasa, and most of Pakistan (extending westwards to Quetta) and Bangladesh. The eastern extremity of the north-eastern state of Arunchal Pradesh, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, plus Sri Lanka are shown as insets. The map has a good overlap between the two sides.

Topography is indicated by altitude colouring with spot heights and mountain passes, names of mountain ranges and peaks, glaciers, swamps and coral reefs in the coastal waters. National parks and other protected areas are highlighted. Road network includes provincial and secondary roads plus selected local tracks. Intermediate driving distances are shown on main and most secondary routes. Railways are included and local airports or airfields are marked. Also indicated are internal administrative boundaries with names of the states.

Symbols highlight various places of interest, including Hindu and Buddhist temples, archaeological sites, caves, beaches etc. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 2° intervals and the map has an extensive index of localities. Map legend includes English.

”World Mapping Project” is an extensive series of maps at varying scales, aiming to provide coverage of countries and regions worldwide using clear, well presented cartography with both topographic and tourist information.

Sample of cartography:

Some elements of the cartography e.g. minor roads and contours are printed relatively faintly compared with other information such as major roads. Although clearly legible on the map, the lower contrast of these details has made them less obvious on the reproduction of the cartography presented here.
