Archaeological sights in Khögnö Khan Uul Nature Reserve

  1. Övgön Khiid

    At the southern foot of the mountain are the ruins of Övgön Khiid, built in 1660 and destroyed (and the monks massacred) by the armies of Zungar Galdan Bochigtu, a rival of Zanabazar's in 1640. About 10 monks reside here in the summer months. The head lama is a charming woman who professes soothsaying abilities.

  2. Ruins

    The Ruins of the earlier destroyed monastery are a lovely 45-minute (2km) walk along a well-defined path up the valley to the right.
