Manjusri Monastery, Buddhist vihara in Zuunmod, Mongolia
The Manjusri Monastery consists of restored buildings and ruins situated on the south slope of Bogd Khan Mountain, 15 kilometers from Ulaanbaatar.
Founded in 1733 by monk Luvsanjambaldanzan, the monastery expanded to 20 temples housing 300 monks before its destruction during the 1937 communist purges.
The monastery maintains a collection of Buddhist scriptures, including texts written in golden script on silver leaf, representing Mongolian religious traditions.
Visitors can reach the monastery through guided tours or local transport from Ulaanbaatar, with the site offering both religious exploration and hiking opportunities.
The surrounding Bogdkhan Uul Protected Area, established in 1783, holds the distinction of being among the earliest documented nature reserves worldwide.
