An Indian adventure

Bafta-winning Rob Rinder and Rylan continue their journey through India with a magical visit to Rajasthan.

Rob Rinder’s favourite novelist is EM Forster, who wrote the celebrated novels A Room with a View and Howards End.

One of Forster's other famous books, 1924's A Passage to India, explores tensions between Indians and the British in the fictional city of Chandrapore against a backdrop of colonial rule on the subcontinent.

And it is this powerful literary work that provides the inspiration for a three-part trek around one of the world's oldest and greatest civilisations in the company of Rob and Rylan Clark, designed to challenge the pair's understanding of India’s ancient customs, art and culture.
