Today, we will drive to Tuvkhun Monastery. Visitors hike 5 km up to the monastery from the skirt of the mountain. The Tuvkhun monastery was first established in 1648 by the 14-year-old Zanabazar first Jebtsundamba khutuktu Bogd. He first noticed this beautiful place in 1651, then built a small wooden cabin for meditation. And that was the beginning of the Tuvkhun monastery. After discovering the monastery, we will drive to Kharkhorum—the Great Mongolian Empire's ancient capital.

The city served as the Mongolian capital for only 40 years (until Khubilai Khaan moved it to Beijing). Chinese soldiers later destroyed most of the town during the second half of the 14th century. The remnants of the city were used to build the ErdeneZuu Monastery in the 16th century—the first Buddhist monastery in Mongolia. Explore the area and visit the museum, etc. Overnight at a tourists' ger camp.
