S1E1 - Episode 1
In this first episode, Paul arrives in India and dives straight into a rickshaw to experience the crazy traffic, the sights and sounds of city life in Northern India. He's there to help animals, and his first stop is an elephant sanctuary south of Delhi, where he meets Lakshmi – an obese elephant. She's too heavy to walk to the river, so Paul's job is to give her a shower, soaking everyone in the process.

S1E2 - Episode 2
In the second episode, Paul introduces us to Assam – a state known for its tea plantations - but also really important for wildlife, and home to Kaziranga National Park. Paul's working at CWRC, an animal rescue centre, and today he's helping look after no less than eight elephant calves. One-year-old Ultee has an injured foot, so Paul helps distract her while it's treated, and six-month-old Burhi needs to be rubbed in coconut oil, to help prepare her skin for winter.
