episode description

This episode sees Nigel exploring the vast grasslands of Inner Mongolia. Steeped in history, these rolling plains were once home to Genghis Khan and his army of horse warriors. Today, the grasslands are inhabited by an elegant bird that Nigel is desperate to find; the demoiselle crane. Along the way the presenter takes to the sky for an aerial view, encounters an ancient tribe that has a close relationship with a surprising animal, has his reflexes tested by speedy lizards and venomous snakes, and witnesses the legacy of Genghis Kahn during a traditional grassland festival of sporting prowess - the Nadaam.
