This collection sees explorer Levison Wood undertake three major walks in three of the Earth's harshest environments; along the Nile, the length of the Himalayas and 1,700 miles along the spine of the Americas from Mexico to Columbia. This 4Âdisc DVD set features all 14 episodes of Wood's adventures. Walking the Nile sees the British explorer's expedition to walk the length of the River Nile from source to sea. His nineÂmonth, seven million step journey takes him through jungles, savannah, deserts, cities and war zones in some of the continents's most remote and spectacular locations. A long the way, he encounters modern Africa, its people and its wild life faceÂtoÂface. The Nile remains one of the last holy grails in exploration  no one has ever completed its entire length on foot. Levison's goal is to reach the Mediterranean Sea wherever lies in his way and wherever the Nile takes him for 4200 miles. The river pushes him to the edge of his mental and physical limits as he is forced to live off his wits and bushcraft skills. Walking the Himalayas sees Levison push himself to his physical limits as he is forced through remote, punishing terrain and altitudes above 5000m where he suffers from a debilitating lack of oxygen. As well as battling natural obstacles, he has to tread carefully through one of the most foughtÂover areas of the world  walking through Afghanistan, crossing the Line of Control between Pakistan and India, navigating the disputed territory of Kashmir and making his way through Nepal as it recovers and tries to rebuild itself after the recent earthquakes. Walking the Americas sees Levison return to Mexico, where he lived for three months and Belize  where he trained as a soldier with the British Army  before he steps into a part of the world he's never visited before and some of the most diverse, beautiful and unpredictable regions on earth. Levison's expedition takes in ancient Mayan ruins still lying unexplored in the jungles of Guatemala and Honduras, the incredible wildlife diversity in Costa Rica's cloud forests, Nicaragua's active volcanoes, the Panama Canal and the Darien Gap on a sometimes brutal journey.
Beginning in southern Russia, Levison will track the mighty Caucasus Mountains toward Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia and into Iran: a captivating nation that's been off the tourist track for decades. Known as the 'lands in between', Levison will travel through these countries that sit at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, and form a large part of the historic and mysterious Silk Route. Making his way by any means necessary, Levison will travel with the locals and live as they do. Crossing snow-capped mountains, canyons and volcanic deserts, Levison will see some of the most spectacular but little-known landscapes on the planet. He tries to reach his journey's end on the shores of the Caspian Sea in Iran. He will also team up with local guides and venture with them into little-known regions where East truly meets West.
Join the British explorer as he travels through the Arabian Peninsula; a 5,000-mile journey that sees him travel through 13 different countries.
