[ETR11] | | Erdene Zuu monastery-Tuvkhun monastery |  |
Tuvkhun Monastery: hidden deep in the Khangai Mountains, this incredible scenic monastery has become major pilgrimage centre for Mongolians seeking spiritual solace. Zanabazar the first Saint of Mongolia founded the site in 1653and lived, worked and mediated here for 30 years. The monastery was destroyed in 1937 but rebuilt with public funds in the early 1990s. Situated at the top of Shireet Ulaan Uu, Zanabazar apparently liked the unusual formation of the peak;the rocky outcrop looks like enormous throne. It was here that Zanabazar created many of his artistic endeavors, some which can be found now in the Zanabazar Museum of Fine arts in Ulaanbaatar.
Uvgun Monastery: Its arid terrain of rocky semi-desert is good for short hikes and there are few old temples to explore, both ruined and active. At the southern foot of the mountain are the ruins of Uvgun Monastery built in 1660 and destroyed by the armies of Zungar Galdan Boshigtu, a rival of Zanabazar;s in 1640. The surroundings belongs to the 46.900-hactare Khugnu Khan Nature Reserve and you might spot ibex, wolves and many varieties of hawk.
Erdene Zuu Monastery: founded 1586 by Altai Khaan, Erdene Zuu (Hundred Treasures) was the first Buddhist Monastery in Mongolia. It had between 60 and 100 temples, about 300 gers inseide the walls, at its peak, up to 1000 monks in residence. The monastery was destroyed by Stalinist purges of 1937. All but three of the temples in Erdene Zuu were destroyed and an unknown number of monks were either killer or shipped off to Siberia and never heard from again. However, a surprising number of statues, Tsam masks and Tangkas were saved from the monastery from the time of purges. The items were buried in nearby mountains, or stored in local homes. |
