Baldan Bereeven

Baldan Bereeven Monastery stands in the Baruun Jargalant valley beneath the steep cliffs of Munkh Ulziit, one of four sacred mountains surrounding the site. A Gelug Buddhist foundation, it became an important religious centre in eastern Mongolia. Its main temple, Dash Tsepel Ling, was completed in 1776, followed by the great Tsogchin hall in 1813. The valley's sacred landscape also includes Khangal Lake and the Jargalant ovoo, a cairn associated with local mountain worship.
