In 1648, at the age of 14, the first Bogd Zanabazar or supreme spiritual authority, of the Gelugpa (Yellow Hat) lineage of Tibetan Buddhism in Outer Mongolia became interested in this unique natural setting and built a small temple with stone walls for meditation in 1651, which he called “dubkhan” or building for creation. The word has become obsolete and is now known as Tuvkhun. While sitting at the monastery, Zanabazar created his unique and precious works. We will discover unique natural beauty. As we walk to the top of the mountain, we will be able to see a variety of flowers, plants and birds, and refresh our lungs with fresh air and relieve stress and anxiety. It is amazing to see a 360 degree panoramic view of Mongolian wild grassland from the top of Buren Khaan mountain.
