Only Andrew and Dan completed the 'Hard Way Up' Detour option in which they needed to climb a set of stairs at the Escadaria do Passo on their hands and knees. Once at the top, teams would need to answer a secret question pertaining to the number of steps climbed, but they would not know the question until they reached the top. Once they answered 'fifty-three' they would receive their next clue. If teams answered wrong, they'd need to take the streets nearby back to the bottom to try again.

Once both members safely reached the ground they would receive their next clue leading them directly to the first Pit Stop.

Answer: Delhi

Starting Leg 6, teams opened their first clue at the previous Pit Stop, the Bayon Temple in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

Because of everyone's close departure times, all six teams were able to catch the same flight to the city of Delhi. This would be the sixth "Amazing Race" to make a stop in India, and not the first in Delhi.
