discovery+ premieres Expedition Borderlands.... in India and Philippines

discovery+ will premiere the four-part original docu-series Expedition Borderlands with Levison Wood and Ash Bhardwaj in India on September 8 and in The Philippines in September 15. It features internationally acclaimed explorer and host Levison Wood who is on a quest to explore the lives of those living along the volatile border of India and Pakistan. In the past, he has adventured through treacherous terrains in Walking the Himalayas, Arabia with Levison Wood and many other documentaries. This time his travel writer friend Ash Bhardwaj joins him, navigating the borderlands while unraveling the cultural nuances of the India-Pakistan border.

This is a 2,500km route that has never been captured before on camera. The duo immerses themselves in people's everyday lives while traveling to some remote and off-beat locations to gain an authentic understanding of the local culture and tradition. As the journey progresses, Bhardwaj discovers his roots and the rich connection he shares with the culture and traditions of both countries.

Sai Abishek, Head of Factual & Lifestyle Cluster – South Asia, Warner Bros. Discovery, commented: 'Along with the rich content that draws upon the history and diversity of two countries, the format's authenticity and this unique route is what makes this expedition so captivating. We are thrilled to collaborate with renowned explorer Lev and his friend Ash whose incredible experiences on this unique adventure are sure to capture the audience’s attention'.

Wood said: 'Ash and I were lucky enough to experience the incredible food, culture and hear plenty of fascinating stories in both India and Pakistan. I couldn't think of anyone I would rather have done this journey with than Ash. It was interesting to see the countries from his perspective - and we had a lot of laughs along the way! The best part of this trip was seeing what unites the two countries in this border region'. Bhardwaj added: 'Lev and I have been travelling together for over a decade, but this journey was particularly special. Being able to walk in the footsteps of my ancestors made me feel vividly connected to my heritage - not just in Punjab, but on the Pakistani side of the border, too'.
