This episode opens with Jeremy and his travellers realizing they’re down to fumes—literally a quarter tank with no gas station in sight. Cue the impromptu roadside fueling session using a beastly 20-liter spare tank, a misplaced nozzle filter, and a MacGyver-style rescue involving long-nose pliers. It’s a blend of comedy, chaos, and survival skills with a dash of surgical precision.
But the fuel drama is just the appetizer. The real treat showcases a visit to the White Stupa, a wildly photogenic cliffscape painted by millions of years of ancient seabed erosion and mineral magic. It’s remote, it’s gorgeous, and it’s got camel droppings everywhere—because of course it does. Jeremy hikes through it all like a curious Indiana Jones with a gimbal, pointing out why this undeveloped gem is way better without touristy railings or paved paths.
Just when you think it’s all beauty and serenity, the desert throws in actual weather. From sideways wind stealing slippers to unexpected rain, the Gobi isn’t playing around. Then it’s off to Ulaanbaatar, where Jeremy smartly swaps a pricey hotel for a massive Airbnb that’s cheaper and bigger.
