The team takes an unforgettable boat ride up the river and witness sights that leave them shocked. They visit a convalescence home and get a thorough explanation of the many rules that apply to burning the dead by local teacher, "Papu". They continue West past the Taj Mahal and into Delhi only to stumble across yet another festival, Janmaashtami. Team navigator Justin joins in the festivities, but before long on the crowded streets he learns a lesson in pick pocketing! On their way out of town something's blocking the slow lane; a man rolling. The holiness has just begun. They soon have a personal meeting with the Dalai Lama in his Dharamsala home in exile. He blesses the crew and signs their vehicles. Written by
