MUMBAI: Starting 19 September, the final 13 MTV Hero Honda Roadies will feature the experiences of the Roadies (who have been chosen through auditions in five cities) travelling from India's hottest desert Jaisalmer to India's coldest desert Leh over a period of 40 days.

Traversing the country on seven Hero Honda Karizmas, under unbelievably challenging conditions with extremely limited budgets and virtual isolation from their friends and family, the adventurers will undertake various tasks that test their endurance, energy and patience as they learn about India's disparate environs and people, informs an official communiqué.

After getting through tough auditions held in Pune, Hyderabad, Delhi, Chandigarh and Mumbai, seven guys and six girls were chosen who were intelligent, articulate, had a penchant for adventure, and with distinctive personalities and skills that set them apart.

Each episode will have one Roadie voted out, leading to heightened tensions and rivalry. The one of the final 13 Roadies who makes it to Leh will win big - a cash prize of up to Rs. 5,00,000, informs the media release.
