Off the Beaten Path (2015) : 9x27

Asia. A continent where icy Siberia meets the tropical pulse of Indonesia. A place of endless contrasts, where one moment you stand in an ancient temple, and the next in the heart of a hypermodern city. Our journey begins near Ankara, on an eco farm where people live in harmony with nature. In the Maldives, we’ll prepare a breakfast of tuna and coconut, with the Indian Ocean just steps away. In India, we visit Varanasi, the spiritual heart of the country, and in Timor-Leste, one of the world’s youngest nations, we explore a cacao farm. But Asia is more than rainforests and white sand. It’s also modern energy. On China’s Hainan Island, we’ll taste Cantonese roasted pork, and in Japan, discover technologies shaping the future. Join us as we explore an Asia full of extremes, energy, and balance.
