Narrated by the Godfather of Natural History – Sir David Attenborough and set to a beautiful music score by Hans Zimmer, the series takes the viewer closer to the most inaccessible places of the natural world – from jungles, deserts, mountains, islands, grasslands to the cities through advanced filming technology. Planet Earth II features India and its diverse landscapes and wildlife prominently in several episodes.
