The Real Marigold Hotel - Season 3 Episode 3
The group are now settled into life in Udaipur and are ready to explore further afield. Country lovers Bob, Susan and Selina want to see more of rural Rajasthan and head into the hills to go horse riding and camping, but it is not quite the glamping trip they imagined. Over the campfire they open up about the difficult times in their lives, Bob's battle with cancer and Susan's loss of her husband. Meanwhile, in Udaipur, Syd and Ian continue their Indian cookery lessons, Stanley the adventurer relives his youth on the back of a motorcycle, and Stephanie explores her inner self through meditation. The group end the week with a trip to the neighbouring state of Gujarat for one of India's biggest annual festivals, Navratri, but to get there involves a 12-hour journey on a sleeper train. After attempting to learn a Gujarati folk dance, they get kitted out in traditional costumes and join thousands of worshippers for a night of celebrations for the powerful Hindu warrior goddess Durga. Susan, Selina and Stephanie get caught up in the intoxicating atmosphere, dancing with abandon into the early hours.
