A stunning destination rich in spirit and culture, the Fren Family admit they're far from spiritual. They touch down in Deli however with "an open mind".

And of course joining them are newbie travellers Karly and Bri! We'll meet them a little later on.

Matt and Brett recreate the 'iconic' Diana photo

Next stop was the Taj Mahal, the "greatest monument to love ever built".

Arriving at their destination, Karly was "speechless", and Kevin agreed: "It takes your breath away, it really is stunning."

For Matt and Brett, there was only one thing they were interested in seeing, the "Diana chair".

In 1992, the photo of Princess Diana alone at the Taj Mahal had the world speculating the state of her marriage to Prince Charles.

"It's an iconic photo," Matt explained. "Where's her husband? Who knows? Well, we know now..."

With the help of their guide, Matt and Brett channelled their inner Zoolander for a photoshoot.

The results speak for themselves: 

"You feel the emotion through that photo," Matt said about his own picture.

"I don't know what the hell you were doing," he aimed at Brett. "It looks like you're trying to do a poo!"

Meet Karly and Bri

Karly and Bri are two besties who met while filming Beauty and the Geek a couple of years ago, and have been inseparable ever since.

They're down-to-earth and "very excited" to throw themselves into the adventure of a lifetime – we hope they like yoga and laughing!

Teng tries laughing yoga and releases an inner 'demon'

Yep, laughing yoga exists and four 45 years one particular guru has mastered the art of healing through cackling.

Mark was "pleasantly surprised" and Kevin thought it was "as funny as a funeral". Teng on the other hand, took his role very seriously.

Laughing or screaming? (Nine)

"I looked around and no one was doing it as scarily as we were," laughed Dorian. "We were meant to be laughing but Teng was releasing demons."

Matt and Brett admit things get 'weird'

From one form of therapy to the next, Matt and Brett tried another form of treatment in their path to transcendence... Green leaf therapy. We'll let them explain.

"I'm not exactly sure what the treatment is called," Matt began.

"But pretty much they take mower clippings, mix them with olive oil, cover your body with them..."

Matt is far from relaxed. (Nine)

The men were covered in banana leaves to help them ease pain and reach a state of relaxation.

"It was really weird, how could this get any weirder?" Brett pondered. "I've seen fish steamed in banana leaves, where was this heading?"

Catch the video below and see for yourself: 

"This treatment compares to nothing we've had before, probably once in a lifetime," Matt reflected.

"One of a kind," his travel companion agreed.
