À vivre

Amarbayasgalant Khiid monastery, whose name means “monastery of tranquil felicity”, is one of the three largest monasteries in Mongolia and partially escaped the mass destruction carried out by the Soviets in 1937. It was built in the 18th century in memory of the Tibetan spiritual leader Bogd Gegeen Zanabazar, to house his remains.
Left abandoned for nearly 50 years, it has been under restoration by monks since 1988.
It is a remarkable site, far from the main tourist routes and so rarely visited — which is part of its extraordinary charm.
Camping along the river, just a few hundred metres from the monastery, is always a memorable stage of a nomadic journey through Mongolia.
