Khoymorsky datsan, Buddhist monastery in Arshan, Russia.
The Khoymorsky datsan stands at 835 meters altitude in the Tunkinsky District, near mineral springs and against the backdrop of the Sayan Mountains.
Agvan Dorzhiev established the monastery in 1917, during a period when Buddhist institutions were expanding across the Buryat territories of pre-revolutionary Russia.
The monastery functions as an educational center where students learn Buddhist philosophy, medical practices, and participate in traditional religious ceremonies.
Visitors can reach the monastery through regular bus services from Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude, with mobile coverage available through four different network operators.
The monastery integrates traditional Tibetan Buddhist architecture with the natural environment, positioned near therapeutic mineral springs and the Kyngyrga River waterfalls.
