Michael Palin takes us on a full length journey of the Himalayas, the greatest mountain range on earth, stretching 1,800 miles from the borders of Afghanistan to southwest China.Having risen to the challenge of seas, poles and deserts, Palin now tackles the world’s longest mountain range - The Himalaya’s. His journey takes him through the Khyber Pass and ancient cities such as Peshawar and Lahore, past the mighty peaks of K2 and Everest and onto the so-called ‘roof of the world’, the Tibetan plateau. Along the way, he gives an elephant a bath, learns how to milk a yak, escapes a 50p dentist and has an audience with the Dalai Lama.
