In Kolkata Joanna takes to the streets at night with a local guide and meets some members of India's transgender community. Finally Joanna journeys high into the Himalaya's to visit Gangtok in Sikkim where her mother lived as a child, and so holds a strong family connection for Joanna.
Episode 2
Joanna's final leg of her journey through India takes her first to Ranthambhore National Park, where she hopes to spot a tiger in the wild. Joanna's next stop is the mighty city of Delhi. She begins her exploration of the capital at Humayun's Tomb - a place that has a very personal family connection for her. She visits a community of 10,000 homeless men living under a flyover, where a basic cinema offers some much-needed escapism. Then, in stark contrast, she tries her hand at working in a hi-tech call centre in a smart new area of the city. Moving north from Delhi, Joanna travels to Dharamsala, where she is granted a private audience with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, before finishing her incredible 5,000 mile journey by revisiting the place where she was born - Srinagar in Kashmir.
Episode 3
In episode three, Joanna's adventures across India conclude as she explores Rajasthan, Delhi and the mountainous North West ending in Kashmir, the place of her birth.
