Himalaya with Michael Palin

Episode 2: A Passage to India

Duration: 58 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One LondonLatest broadcast: on BBC Four HD

Michael Palin continues his Himalayan trek by travelling from K2 in Pakistan to Ladakh in India - a short distance as the crow flies but, due to politics, a huge loop. He passes through the Sikh city of Amritsar, with its Golden Temple, and through Shimla, with its Vice Regal Lodge, Gaiety Theatre and cosy half-timbered teahouses. He then meets the fourteenth Dalai Lama in Dharamsala, where the Tibetan government is in exile. Show less
