Indian television host and actor Cyrus Sahukar set off on an epic road trip for the Fox Life show Great Escape with his buddy, actor Kunal Kapur. The duo took the slow route to explore the Himalayas from Dharamshala to Spiti over ten days, spending time in smaller towns and villages along the way. The Delhi-born actor, who now lives in Mumbai, recalls their adventures on the road including visiting the highest post office in the world, kayaking in Spiti and learning life lessons the hard way. We sat down with Cyrus Sahukar to chat about his show, Bollywood and his love for India.

From the grandeur of UNESCO World Heritage Site Durbar Square to the hubbub of Thamel’s dumpling stalls and the serenity of a hilltop Buddhist temple, there are countless sights to be experienced and enjoyed in Kathmandu. Luckily for those that don’t have the luxury of several days to explore Nepal’s capital, there’s plenty that can be seen within a day. Expect a whistle stop tour of gleaming stupas, moreish dumplings, romantic gardens and peaceful spiritual retreats.
