ITINERARY
Manzushir Monastery
The Manzushir Monastery lies on the southern part of the Bogd Khan Mountain, at an altitude of 1,800 meters above sea level. The monastery enjoys a beautifully stunning setting being surrounded by a forest of Siberian Larch with a backdrop of natural granite cliffs eroded into “tors” of huge rounded boulders, many thousands fallen from the cliffs to make a grassy block field spreading out into the forest. A brief visit to the Local Nature Museum will introduce you to some of the wildlife and natural beauties of the area before a short walk brings you to the monastery.
The Manzushir Monastery was destroyed in the 1930s, but a reconstruction project is underway. The ruins of the original monastery, dating from 1733, are clearly visible. The images of Buddha carved in the granite rock nearby the monastery are a unique historical and cultural exposition.
