It was in 2019 when Bears decided to have his first Indian guest, that too, the PM himself. The episode was shot in the jungles of Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve in Uttarakhand. The duo did several things together from smelling an elephant’s dung to crossing a river, showing how does one survive in a natural ecosystem.
