Contestants hike through the toughest terrains and are constantly faced with the forces of nature: heavy thunderstorms, unbearable heat and daily encounters with wild animals. Throughout the show, they take part in brutal games to compete to stay together as a couple. Losing a game could mean losing their partner, ending up in the remote exile camp or worse, leaving the competition. After eight exhausting treks two couples' face-off in a thrilling Grand Finale.

This show not only tests the individual physical and mental strength of these contestants it also tests how they cope in extreme conditions as a couple, explains Arun Maljaars, Global Content Strategy Manager, INSIGHT TV.
