Equipped with 3 specialized Land Rovers, 7 adventure-hungry team members depart from California on year-long, 41,000-mile expedition through tropical jungles, scorching deserts, and snow covered peaks. Watch tensions run high in Panama when the team is stuck on the side of the road. Spend New Years Eve in Guayaquil, Ecuador where they explode effigies with the locals, and see what happens when the team runs out of gas in the Atacama Desert (Chile). They are the first foreigners to cross Myanmar (Burma) in over 50 years. But driving the world is not always smooth sailing. They get detained in India, deported from China and sent back into Pakistan. In Episode 11 they meet personally with the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala, India, where he wishes the team good luck on their journey. Venturing to the far corners of the globe, through 26 different countries, the team members find their minds and spirits pushed to the limits.
“When we got to East India, we were under armed guard due to the separatist activity there. At one point, we had 23 guards with machine guns and three armoured vehicles with top-mounted guns with us.” - Adam Burgess Producer/Director
