Season four of reality show The Amazing Race, which is one of AXN's most popular programmes, will hit the screens today at 9.00 pm. The show will kick-start with a special 90-minute episode with twelve teams setting forth on their voyage into the unknown in their quest for $1 million.

The most interesting aspect of season four is the fact that the participants will travel to India, namely, Kerala and Mumbai, on their journey to the final destination.

The show will begin at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles, USA, subsequent to which, the participants will head to Milan in Italy.

From Italy, the participants travel to the Cinque Torri area of the Alps where they have to choose between searching for an object hidden in the snow or walking across a rope bridge and then riding a zip line between two high peaks.

Says Rohit Bhandari, assistant vice president, SET India Limited, "In addition to the AXN mantra of dare-devilry, adventure and irreverence, The Amazing Race brings the best of thrills, spills and human drama. There is no other reality series, which in the space of an hour every week showcases more human drama, adventure and gut-wrenching challenges, or for that matter, more of the world than The Amazing Race."

Included on the show are a pair of circus clowns, models and a couple who have been dating each other for the last 12 years.
