National Park of Mongolia
About Khogno Khan National Park
This is a picturesque area with steppes, mountains, forests and mineral water sources. In the early 17th century one of the Tüsheet khans, rulers of Mongolia, a son of the Avtai Sain Khan, who founded Erdene Zuu, built at least one temple at the southern base of the mountain. Reportedly Zanabazar, who had been enthroned as the first Bogd Gegen of Mongolia at Shireet Tsagaan Nuur, about 40 km south of here, initiated the construction of more temples and finally a monastery was established. Zanabazar dedicated this monastery to one of his teachers, Erdene-Tsorj, and eventually the complex became known as Erdene Khamba Khiyd. During Zanabazar’s lifetime there were at least ten temples here at two different sites, one at the end of the current-day road and another about a 30-minute walk north.
