BBC One - Top Gear, Nepal Special

Paddy, Freddie and Chris set out on a high-altitude voyage from Kathmandu to Lo Manthang.

Paddy, Freddie and Chris set out on a high-altitude voyage from Kathmandu to the Forbidden City of Lo Manthang, through the highest mountains, deepest gorges and harshest terrain on the planet.

Top Gear sets out on perhaps its toughest road-trip ever: a high-altitude voyage from Kathmandu, capital of Nepal, to the Forbidden City of Lo Manthang, a secretive kingdom perched high on the Tibetan plateau, on the far side of the Himalayas. A five-day expedition through the highest mountains, deepest gorges and harshest terrain on the planet.

On their journey, the Top Gear presenters battle river crossings, mudslides, and dizzying mountain passes, on a trip that would test even the hardiest new 4x4s on the planet to the limit. But Paddy, Freddie and Chris aren’t crossing the Himalayas in new 4x4s. They’re crossing the Himalayas in a very small old Peugeot, a very small old Renault, and Nepal’s first (and only) home-built car.
