This entertaining, offbeat travelogue by an Irish TV documentary maker is a true story of deluded maharajahs, murderous environmentalists, sex-obsessed yogis, and bizarre high-society belles. It stretches from women throwing themselves on funeral pyres in the deserts of Rajasthan, to mind-reading children in Himalayan forests and devious missionaries on the shores of the Ganges. A bizarre and truly helter-skelter journey which ends on the roof of the world with Manchan and his brother befriending the Nepalese secret service, thus escaping years behind bars.
