Road Less Traveled

Jonathan races a million plus devotees from all over India and beyond to touch the fabled salvation-granting ropes of Lord Jagannath's chariot during the Rath Yatra Festival in Orissa.

Jonathan gets into a kushti wrestling match, searches for the famed Hilsa fish, pulls a rickshaw, and enjoys a spot of golf at the world's 2nd oldest course.

On the verge of an epic roadtrip, Jonathan visits the shrine of the motorcycle God for providence and sidetracks to combat the all-woman unit of the Delhi police. Finally he moves on to Manali, the gateway to all Himalayan adventures; dodging tourist traps to find an authentic hot spring soak before setting off to cross the treacherous "dead body pass" on a classic Royal Enfield Bullet.

Motor and body gasping for breath, Jonathan embarks on a two wheeled journey over the highest roads in the world, stopping in remote monasteries to learn the secrets of Buddhism's warrior demons and track down a secreted manuscript rumored to explain the lost years of Jesus.

From the pink city to the blue city, Jonathan weaves his way through citadels, dunes, and temples in this legendary frontier lan of kings and warriors. He braves the rat temple in search of the lucky albino rodent, hears the epic of cow hearding Gods, and samples the abundance of dromedary products at the world's largest camel reserve.

Jonathan trudges through a rat infested temple, tries fine dromadary products at Asia's largest Camel research center, washes down some Opium tea with the Bishnoi community, and ventures on a dangerous ride in to the panther-infested jungle for a sit-down session with an 85 year black magician.

Jonathan embarks on a spiritual mission, to find a symbol of Nandi statue; a journey that will leave him scouring the South of India, from Goa to Hampi and beyond.

Jonathan gets the lowdown on Kathakali dancing, pulls seafood from the ancient Chinese fishing nets, hunts for the highest orthodox organic tea leaf in India, gets an intimate rubdown in the hub of Ayurveda, and follows a lead on a 22 billion dollar cursed tomb treasure story.

Season 1 special is a recap of Jonathan's best moments from Season 1 as well as a glimpse of never before seen footage.
