A red-carpet premiere for the new unscripted reality show “The Challengers: Game of Himalayas” was held on May 25th at the AMC Empire 25 Theater in Times Square.

Cash prizes will be awarded throughout the show, with the top earners ultimately vying for the title of “The Ultimate Challenger” and a grand prize of $100,000 by summiting Kalapatthar. Hosted by the well-known Indian media personality Nikhil Chinapa, the show promises a raw and unfiltered look at the beauty and challenges of the Everest region.
