Dashgimpeliin Khiid
In 1936 there were 53 temples in Dundgov; a year later, nearly all were reduced to ashes and rubble by the Mongolian KGB. In 1991 Dashgimpeliin Khiid was opened to serve the people of Mandalgov. The monastery is now served by 30 monks and services are held most mornings from 10:00. It's 300m northeast of the Mandal Hotel.
