Don't Drive Here

S01E06 Ulaanbaatar

In Mongolia, a country known for its equestrian culture, around half of the population resides in the bustling capital. The locals navigate their vehicles with the same intensity as they do on horseback—swift and reckless. Surprisingly, only five percent of the roads out of Ulaanbaatar are paved, resulting in a landscape filled with potholes and sinkholes. Host Andrew Younghusband dives into the challenge of driving through the chaotic city streets and discovers the art of crossing the road in a place where tourists are often advised against attempting it.
