Episode 3
In the final episode of the series, Nick leaves the desert sands of the Gobi and the dramatic peaks of the West to travel to Mongolia's capital, Ulaanbaatar, the coldest capital in the world. Facing his fear of heights head on, Nick takes to the skies in a tandem paraglider, gaining an eagle eye's view as he soars over the landscape. To his surprise, trepidation shifts to pure exhilaration.
Nick meets one of the world's most famous Mongolian throat singers, Batzorig Vaanchig, and is blown away by the unusual haunting sounds he can produce from deep within. Batzorig is on his way to a party and invites Nick along. It's a hair cutting ceremony, an important milestone for every Mongolian toddler. This is an elaborate party for which Nick (and crew) must wear traditional long shirts or ‘deels'. There, he is introduced to fermented horse mare milk, which turns out to be an acquired taste.
He delves into Mongolia's Soviet past before travelling into the Ger district of the city where he has an eye-opening - and painful - encounter with a shaman. Then, cleared of evil spirits, but with a sore tongue, he sets off to discover a surprising Mongolian musical genre.
In the 1990s the Soviets departed, and Mongolia became a democracy, opening up all sorts of (previously banned) musical influences, and hip hop was a surprise hit. Nick meets Mongolian hip hop star, Big Gee, who declares Nick has a bright future as a rapper.
As a fitting finale to his epic Mongolian travels, Nick climbs the largest equestrian statue in the world. This huge stainless-steel stature depicts the most famous person in Mongolia's history, the mighty Genghis Kahn.
This unforgettable adventure has shown Nick how nomadic cultures have found a way to take modern amenities and use them to their advantage whilst still preserving their traditional way of life.
From the endless vistas of the Gobi Desert to the lofty mountains of the West and the revelations of the capital city Ulaanbataar, Mongolia and its extraordinary people have proven to be remarkable.
