Itinerary

Day 1

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.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
