Series details

£4.50

One of the titles in a series of waterproof and tear-resistant maps of Indian states, showing local districts in different colours and indicating both administrative headquarters of each district and of its subdivisions, the tehsils (or tahsils, tahasils, talukas, taluks, taluqs). These maps often show different small villages to those marked on the TTK maps, with the two series supplementing each other to provide a more detail picture of each state. Roads are classified as national or state highways and other roads, some with driving distances. Railway lines are also marked and some titles have symbols indicating places of interest or rest houses.

Maps of states in mountainous areas show names of main valleys, on other titles there is no topographic information. The maps have no geographical coordinates. Some titles include insets with enlargements of popular areas or street plans, and distance tables. All the maps are indexed and have a small booklet providing a basic guide to the state district by district. The maps are printed on a waterproof and tear-resistant paper.

In this title: the main map shows names of the larger valleys and indicates some places of interest such as temples, monasteries and hot springs. Also included are a distance table, a basic plan of Kullu, and a small map of the whole state showing main valleys and mountain ranges.
