Beyond the Beaten Path

The brothers hitch-hike from the ancient Inca capital of Cuzco at 3399m, down the spine of the Andes Mountains to Lake Titicaca. They get robbed, suffer acute mountain sickness, get mixed up with police, get high on coca leaves and meet some wonderful locals as they battle their way across the Andes.

Securing special visas, the brothers get 10 ponies and 6 porters and undertake a stunning, but difficult 13-day pony trek over the Himalayas to the valley of Mustang where they will try to have a sitting with the king.
