A beautiful monastery in a beautiful location. This monastery, founded in 1648 by a 14 year old Zanabazar, who brought Tibetan Buddhism to Mongolia, is set in the forested hills some 40km from the ancient city of Karakoram (near modern Kharkhorin). There is a road that will take you about halfway there, then you need to access the site by horse (recommended) or foot. There is no information at the site, so read up about it first. The topmost areas (moderately easy to access but unlikely to be disabled friendly) are limited to men only. Photos of the exterior only as it is still an active religious site. Probably the earliest Buddhist monastery in Mongolia.

Not necessarily the easiest place to get to, but worth the trip. A mostly intact Mongolian (Tibetan) Buddhist monastery. The wall paintings are particularly worth seeing in the Western and Eastern Temples. A short walk from the rear is the famous tortoise and the site of Karakoram (really nothing left to see). As it is a long way from Ulaanbaatar it’s best combined with other nearby attractions (eg. Karakoram Museum, Tovkhon)

A hidden gem with a beautifully arranged if compact set of exhibits that walk you through the earliest eras of Mongolian history, from the Stone Age through the days of Chinggis Khan to the present. A good complement to the Erdenezuu monastery that is nearby. Allow a couple of hours to see everything well.
