Naked and Afraid: Aadimanav is the Indian adaptation of Discovery Channel's internationally acclaimed survival series Naked and Afraid.
The six-episode series features six individuals from demanding fields such as mountain climbing, ultra-endurance sports and wilderness survival training. They are dropped into the forests of the Philippines with no modern comforts and must rely on their instincts, survival skills and resilience to stay alive.
According to the makers, the show explores how people cope when stripped of everyday necessities and pushed to their physical and mental limits.
As conditions become more difficult, participants face a series of challenges that test their ability to find food, shelter and safety in an unfamiliar environment.
The makers say the series offers a look at human survival in its most basic form, highlighting the importance of endurance, adaptability and teamwork under extreme circumstances.
Naked and Afraid: Aadimanav will begin airing from June 15, with new episodes telecast every Monday and Tuesday at 11 pm.
