As attractive as it is functional, National Geographic’s Classic style political map of India is one of the most detailed and comprehensive maps ever published for India and southern Asia. It includes India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Tajikistan, and portions of China, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Myanmar. The India map is punctuated with thousands of place names, and embellished with shaded relief which highlights the region's dramatic topography in such places as the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalaya. Also shown are the country's infrastructures, including airports, railroads, super highways, canals, major oil fields and pipelines, canals, and more.

The map is encapsulated in heavy-duty 1.6 mil laminate which makes the paper much more durable and resistant to the swelling and shrinking caused by changes in humidity. Laminated maps can be framed without the need for glass, so the fames can be much lighter and less expensive.
