Simon continues to trace the path of the northern tropic around the globe, joining travellers on the coast of Western Sahara to partake in the extreme sport of kite surfing, and meeting activists who campaign for indigenous people's rights. He continues on through the world's largest minefield, takes a gruelling train ride across Mauritania and visits huge refugee camps in the Algerian desert

The third leg of Simon's journey takes him from the banks of the Nile to the edge of the Indian Ocean in Oman. Along the way he is introduced to Nubians displaced by the formation of Lake Nasser in the 1960s and nomadic Bedouins who have been forced to move by a seven-year drought scientists believe is due to climate change. On Egypt's southern coast, he dives in pristine coral reefs, before seeing the unexpected sides of Saudi Arabian life

Stage four of Simon's journey takes him across the areas of India rarely visited by tourists, including the unique desert environment of 'Little Rahn', home to the threatened wild ass, and Gandhi's home city of Ahmedabad, where he sees evidence of ethnic tensions between Hindus and Muslims. In Bhopal, he finds a city still contaminated by chemicals 25 years after an infamous industrial accident, while in the city of Kolkata he ponders the congestion that continues to spiral out of control

Simon witnesses the effect of extreme poverty on the people of Bangladesh, where children are put to work for as little as 30 pence a day. His journey down the River Padma shows the threat of climate change on the densely populated country as melting Himalayan ice prompts the collapse of its banks, and introduces him to the national sport of Kabbadi, from which he escapes with only minor injuries. He then crosses the border to Burma to begin the most dangerous leg of his trip
