Levison Wood is an explorer with a difference. His previous trek was to walk the Nile in 2013. This time he attempts to walk the entire length of the Himalayas.
Beginning in Afghanistan, he pushes himself to his physical limits as he treks 1,700 miles across the roof of the world. Wood gets to team up with local guides and meets soldiers, monks and nomadic tribes. He also has to overcome a few natural obstacles, from punishing terrain to altitudes above 5km. If this wasn’t enough, the terrain is renowned as one of the most fought-over areas of the world.
