He himself runs a show in the evening wherein his team reaches out to dangerous places.
It is written "reaches out" ,so, can I use simply "reaches to" instead of reaches out? Would it be grammatically right?

What about the concise, memorable, and conveniently alliterative expression WHILE YOU WAIT, which is sometimes seen on business signs?
If someone can remember that three-word phrase (and the pictures I've added might help someone do just that), then it might be easier for them to remember how while would be the word that means "during some time interval."
Once you get one half of a confusing pair straight in your mind, the other half pretty much falls into place by default. But if you wanted something more, you could simply imagine the business owner saying:
I can fix this while you wait; you won't pay until I'm done.
Agree with your ranking of formality. I would say that "immediately," "right away," and "at once" are very similar in meaning and implied urgency. "Promptly" seems less urgent to me.
On the other hand, thesaurus.com equates "promptly" with "immediately."

There's three possible things going on with out, depending on the context:
Out can be tacked on to a lot of verbs of motion to emphasize that the motion is done over a significant distance away from where the subject is currently.
It can also mean performing a verb of motion while exiting a place, such as your home or a city.
Reach out to is a phrasal variation of reach that means "to make exploratory contact with an unknown and/or potentially hostile party." X in reach out to X will most likely be a person or place where people are if this meaning is intended.
I would guess the third meaning is likely meant.
Reaches to is technically grammatical but it will change the meaning, unless the dangerous place is something like a craggy cliff (dangerous due to terrain and not due to people) and you are in a boat moving towards it, e.g. literally going to a dangerous place and not meeting dangerous people.
Reach to typically means to stretch a body part to touch something. So it will also sound awkward if you change reach out to to reach to here, unless your show is about a bunch of people in groups that reach down in or around holes or other dangerous places. (A vessel traveling to a place reaches the place but does not typically reach to the place.)
