Yurts, horses, eagle hunters… and a match you’ve tried yourself. Martin Navrátil is heading to Mongolia this time – and it will be quite a ride. Watch already on Friday at 22:20 on JOJka.
Mongolia is not just about the history of Genghis Khan. It is a country where a yurt stands next to block of flats and where life works completely differently than we are used to. And that’s exactly where Martin Navrátil chose. He slept with nomads, tasted kumys (yes, fermented mare’s milk) and got to places where a regular tourist just can’t get to. In Altai, he met eagle hunters who still hunt today as they did hundreds of years ago. But the biggest surprise for the spectators is the match, which was really tough.
At the Naadam festival – the Mongolian “Olympic Games” – sa Martin decided to try something that most people would rather think twice about. He got right into the match. No training – just courage.
A country where time stops – Mongolia will surprise you at every turn. Once you are in a city where there is a modern apartment building, a few kilometers further you are in a yurt in the middle of nowhere. A silence you don’t know. A space that has no end. And people who live completely differently. This is what you want to see. If you feel that travel has nothing more to surprise, this episode will lead you astray.
Watch the two faces of the world from Mongolia this Friday at 22:20 on TV JOJ – after the show I Love Slovakia. The episode is also available on JOJ play, and viewers will later see it on JOJ Svet.
