The journey of a lifetime for these 10 people will commence from Delhi, as they travel through UP to Varanasi, exploring the treasure trove of culture the oldest city in the world has to offer. Crossing Jorhat in Assam they visit the serene tea gardens as they continue to Majuli the biggest river island in the world situated in the Brahmaputra. Here they experience the unique culture of the locals, travelling on-board ferries which are a way of life on this island. Moving on further to Kohima, a hilly district in Nagaland, they discover the indigenous tribes, their music and the matriarchal society characteristic to most north eastern states. From here their next stop would be Manipur to witness the border town of Moreh, located on the India-Myanmar border in the Chandel district, which ignites a sense of patriotism amongst the travellers. As the borders of India are crossed, they move to Bagan in Myanmar known for the Bagan Archaeological Area, where more than 2,000 Buddhist monuments tower over the pristine green plains, this also gives our travellers a peak into the Buddhist culture. In the final leg of the trip, the ten chosen ones begin their journey from Myanmar to Bangkok in Thailand which marks the completion of this epic journey.
