Tuvkhun monastery

On the border of Ovorkhangai and Arkhangai provinces, 40 kilometers northwest of the center of Khujirt soum and 50 kilometers from the center of Bat-Ulziit soum, it is located on a low plateau in the middle of the rocks of the top of a rocky mountain surrounded by wild forests. This monastery is 450 kilometers from Ulaanbaatar. In 1648, the first Bogd Zanabazar of Mongolia, at his age of 14, was interested in this place with a unique combination of nature and landscape formations, and he thought of settling in a distant place for winter. So, in 1651, fulfilling his wish, he built a small stone-walled house to sit carefully and meditate, and it was called Dubkhan or Arting house. This word has been extended and now it has become Tuvkhun.
