PLACES TO VISITED:
- Baga Gazrin Chuluu. This is another granite rock formation in the middle of the dusty plains. In the 19th century, two revered monks lived here in gers - remnants of their rock drawings can be found in the area. The rocks are worshipped by locals who sometimes make pilgrimages here. Naturally, there is a legend that Chinggis Khaan stayed at the rocks.
Five kilometres away, the highest peak in the area, Baga Gazrin Uui (1768m), will take about five hours to climb. The mountain also contains a cave with an underground lake. The mineral water springs and trees in the region make it a great spot to camp, and there are plenty of rocky hills, topped by ovoo (sacred pyramid-shaped collections of stone and wood), to explore.
Picturesque mountain Baga Gazar Chuluu is a picturesque mountain at an elevation of 1,751 meters in the Granite Belt. Its valleys abound with streams. A resort for children is here.
- Süm Khökh Burd. The ruined 10th-century temple Süm Khökh Burd sits on an
island in the middle of a seasonal lake, and was built from rocks that can only
be found more than 300km away. It was abandoned and left in ruins a few
centuries later and 300 years ago a palace was built in its place. When that too
fell into disrepair, the writer Danzan Ravjaa built a stage here. Makes sense.
The setting is that dramatic.
Behind it, enough of the temple and palace remain to give you some idea of their
previous magnificence. Even in ruins, with needle grass sprouting between the
stones, it's an impressive sight, thanks largely to its remote location. In the
evening when guests are on the premises, the ruins are lit up magnificently.
However, it's largely the domain of luxury tour groups and Buddhist scholars,
and outside of July the grounds may be locked (we hopped the fence, which is
easily done). During peak season, you may be lucky enough to stumble upon a
naadam performance staged on the concrete amphitheatre which fronts the ruins.
The lake itself, Sangiin Dalai Nuur, only encircles the palace after heavy
rains, but the perennial marsh provides good bird-watching. Various species of
eagle, goose and swan come to this spring-fed lake in summer and autumn.
The temple is located 72km northeast of Erdenedalai, 65km northwest of Mandalgov
and 21km west of Baga Gazryn Chuluu.
- Delgeriin Choir. This monastery is located on the north south of mountain of Baga Gazriin chuluu.
