We spend weeks (sometimes longer) before a trip reading as many books about the destination as we can. The India books below are the ones we enjoyed the most before our trip *and* impacted us the most during our travels. These are some of the best books about India to prepare you for a trip or use for a home-based country study. If a trip to India is on the horizon, take a look at our Delhi, Agra, and Amritsar itineraries. They are full of ideas and tips!
