I'd also have to disagree. Obviously, it was easier than what you or I could do but it was difficult nonetheless. Remember the first episode when the KTM "expert" said it was too amibitious and likely to fail? There were many ways they could have made it easier on themselves and I give them credit for doing it the hard way. I'd also recommend the book. It is a good complement to the TV show and there is not a lot of overlap between the two. The book fills in the gaps that the show left out and skips lots of the other stuff that the show does a good job of covering. Also, remember that part of the trip was to benefit UNICEF and the book makes it pretty clear that their interactions with the children at the UNICEF facilities was a highlight of the trip for them. Seem like two pretty decent guys to me and I give them credit. John> it was really nothing more than a catered cruise.
