what travel tv show , shown in Seattle, went to Amritsar

November 11, 2018 11:41 PM

A few months ago in Seattle I saw a travel television show ( probably on KCTS). I'd like to watch it again but my google skills are not good enough for me to identify it. The host was a man, perhaps in his mid 30's. Part of the show involved a train journey to Amritsar, India. In Amritsar, he visited the Golden Temple among other sites. Can anyone tell me what show this was? Thanks.

Was it Tough Trains?

Do you remember what sort of accent the host had? I think I've seen many more British-person-hosted programs about gallivanting around India than non-British so if it was an American or Australian or non-English-as-a-first-language accent that might narrow it down.

Perhaps it was Tropic of Cancer?

Michael Portillo's Great Indian Railway Journeys? He's a bit older than you describe, but he definitely did an episode including Amritsar.
