Expanse over a large area, this Monastery is among the biggest one in Mongolia. 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. This monastery can be dated back to 1585, built from the ruins of Genghis Khan's ancient capital. Today, it is still used as an active monastery. It‘s amazing to be on time to listen to the soothing chant of the Head Priest, who seeing the large number of devotees. The moment he started the chant, everyone was in a sort of meditation swaying their bodies in rhythm with the chant. One should visit this monastery and try and synchronize it with the chant timing.
