Amarbayasgalant Monastery, Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Selenge Province, Mongolia.
The monastery buildings spread across the Iven Valley near the Selenge River, with Mount Büren-Khaan creating a natural barrier to the north.
Construction of the monastery occurred between 1727 and 1736 under the Yongzheng Emperor of Qing China to house the remains of Zanabazar.
The monastery represents the Gelugpa school of Tibetan Buddhism and maintains daily prayer sessions led by resident monks in traditional ceremonial garments.
Visitors need to travel 35 kilometers on unpaved roads from the main highway, requiring appropriate transportation and advance planning for accommodation.
The monastery complex maintained architectural uniformity with Chinese influences, containing 28 temples arranged symmetrically along a north-south axis.

The national parks, deserts, lakes, and natural sites in Mongolia form a diverse natural heritage. The Gobi Desert features sand dunes and rock formations. National parks like Gurvan Saikhan and Gorkhi-Terelj offer mountain and canyon landscapes. Lake Khövsgöl and the Orkhon Valley are major natural sites. Buddhist monasteries, including Amarbayasgalant and Erdene Zuu, reflect the country's religious history. Ulaanbaatar, the capital, combines historical monuments and modern architecture.
