James May takes on his greatest adventure yet: a 3,000 mile coast-to-coast epic across India, the most populous – and perhaps most extraordinary – country in the world. 

James’s task is to go full immersion: meeting the locals, eating the food, and trying his hand at everything from the ancient art of kite flying through to a bit-part acting role in a regional television programme. And help him navigate this endlessly fascinating country, he’ll be joined along the way by knowledgeable guides, all strong characters who’ll act as his sounding board and who won’t be afraid to call out his (many) cultural faux pas.
