The affable Michael Palin continues his latest ambitious trek, this time across the Himalayas. During a Gurkha recruitment, he survives Maoist insurgents then suffers a 15,000ft climb before the majesty of Annapurna Sanctuary unfolds before his eyes. In Kathmandu he's blessed by the Nepalese king before meeting some holy men. Crossing into Tibet he visits the highest monastery in the world before heading up towards the summit of Everest.
