The nearest town is Erdenet which is about 60 km to the southwest.

According to tradition, while searching for an appropriate site to build the monastery, the exploratory group came across two young boys, Amur and Bayasgalant, playing in a field on the steppe. They were inspired to build the monastery on that very spot and to name it after the two children, Amur-Bayasgalant. Construction took place between 1727 and 1736 and Zanabazar's remains were transferred to a newly created temple in 1788. Tourist ger camp. (B/L/D) Read more

Stefan Max, Marcel Weber, Susanne Nelskamp, Netherlands

The whole trek on horseback was unforgettable. The whole lake might have been the most impressive and memorable sight. I enjoyed the whole trip immensely and will remember is for a long time. I also enjoyed the company of the guide, local guide, driver and cook very much. We would have liked it better if the trek on horseback had been the grand final of the tour at the end, since it was the highlight. The four days of driving around were nice but sort of our climax. If when we come back to Mongolia we will gladly travel with them again. Read more
