He travels to the Kumbh Mela festival on the river Ganges. Here, Pete meets the Saddhus: a group of priests who see themselves as mediums between the Gods and humanity. They achieve this state via discipline, austerity and marijuana. Determined to achieve this state himself, Pete goes to live in a cave on the Himalayas.

He lives in complete isolation for three weeks, in a cave in the mountains above the monastery.
