TAR 18 Ep 7 "You Don't Get Paid Unless You Win" Varanasi, India
Slowhatch:
Here's a map of the ghats; Raj ghat is the one next to the mandir. I don't know, there are a few points in its favor as the gobar pathna site, but just as many points can be put against it: I'll keep looking. I've attached another cap of the task; what I thought might be structures or water is probably people laying out their laundry to dry, a common practice. The site may actually be, as WP suggests, on the other side of the river (pano here).

I think there is probably a 99.9999999% chance that you are correct, Peach.

I love that you found the right name for the dung.
And if y'all do ID this...well you are miracle workers!! Here's hoping we get more ghats in the next promo!

Yes of course. I think it boils down to the fact that it isn't all that easy to get out of Varanasi.
Delhi and Mumbai are two flight options.
The best lights into Vienna in the early morning are from Delhi...
SO IF all the flights into Delhi were fulll from Varanasi, and teams had to go V>Mumbai>Delhi, then the timing is possible. But makes much better sense to go V>Delhi>Vienna. And IIRC, apskip found some Bangkok routings that also work.
And while I found the source for the Delhi sighting of the Cowboys completely reliable ...this one seems not so much.
Not enough to rule it out, just...funny. :duno:

From the TAR Intro thread.......
Varanasi?
These remind me of water taxis. Cheap way for people to get back and forth across the river. The big modern bridges and the pontoon bridge are really at the extreme ends of the waterfront in Varanasi shoreline. Do our teams have to ride in a water taxi?
Ram Nagar Fort
Surely this cant be the only fort in Varanasi. The Brits built forts everywhere. Why is this one in the screencaps? It sure is looking good for a pit stop.
Does anyone think these two go together?
Japan, China and India......all known for incense. The remaining countries are not really known for incense and brasiers.
India or Brasil?
I think the cow is India. It is way to calm, in my mind, to be in the Rio area. But it looks like there are spent fireworks on the ground beneath the cow.
