About the Author
Escritor de viajes de origen británico, Mark Elliott ha vivido y trabajado en cinco continentes y es autor y colaborador de más de 60 títulos de Lonely Planet. Visita el subcontinente desde que un viaje, en 1982, puso su estómago a prueba de cualquier eventualidad. Le encanta el arcoí- ris cultural de la India, pero se siente especialmente atraído por el aire fresco, las majestuosas montañas y la calidez espiritual de las regiones del Himalaya, ya sea compartiendo secretos sufíes en Srinagar, musitando mantras en Ladakh o dejándose sorprender por los exuberantes megatemplos y estatuas de Sikkim.
Anirban Mahapatra compagina diferentes labores como periodista de viajes multimedia, fotógrafo con iPhone y director de cine independiente. Desde el 2007, su colaboración con Lonely Planet le ha llevado a documentar, escribir, editar y coordinar múltiples ediciones de India (una de las guías más vendidas de Lonely Planet), varios títulos dedicados a regiones específicas de ese país, y otras guías de la región como, p. ej., Bangladesh, Sri Lanka y Bhutan. Más allá de su aportación como autor, Anirban también ha diseñado varios modelos de contenido y dirigido talleres de formación enfocados a los nuevos autores que han ido participando en las distintas ediciones de India. Entre sus actividades audiovisuales, ha producido documentales culturales y de viajes bajo el auspicio de los ministerios de Cultura y de Información y Radiodifusión del Gobierno indio, y en la actualidad prepara un documental experimental sobre el antiguo Reino de Mustang, en el Himalaya. Cuando no está recorriendo el mundo por trabajo o placer, lee acerca del budismo, organiza barbacoas y escucha blues en su casa de Calcula o de Dhaka.
Cuando Michael Benanav era niño, su padre cometió el error de regalarle una biografía de Lawrence de Arabia, junto a la novela de aventuras La vuelta al mundo en 80 días. Aquellos libros prendieron una chispa en aquel joven y ávido lector identificado con sus protagonistas principales. Hoy es un veterano viajero, escritor y fotógrafo que adora explorar parajes remotos, alejados de las zonas turísticas más trilladas. Es autor de tres libros de no ficción (ambientados en tres continentes distintos) y escribe y fotografía para grandes publicaciones. Es fundador de Traditional Cultures Project, que documenta las culturas indígenas de todo el mundo. Para ver una parte de su trabajo, visítese www.michaelbenanav.com.
Tras terminar un grado de Empresariales en su ciudad natal, Melbourne, Sarina Singh viajó a la India para seguir una formación corporativa antes de trabajar como periodista. Cinco años después regresó a Australia y completó un posgrado de periodismo antes de escribir la primera edición de Rajastán de Lonely Planet. Además de numerosos títulos de Lonely Planet, ha escrito para un montón de publicaciones y ha sido guionista y comentarista especializada. Sarina también es autora de Polo in India y de India: Essential Encounters. Su documental, nominado a varios premios, se estrenó en el prestigioso Melbourne International Film Festival antes de lanzarse a nivel mundial.
