Dashchoilin Monastery

Less visited than Gandan Monastery but equally fascinating, Dashchoilin Monastery is a hidden gem in Ulaanbaatar, offering an authentic glimpse into Mongolian Buddhist practices. This active monastery is home to a small community of monks who perform daily prayers, traditional chanting, and rituals. Unlike larger, more touristy temples, Dashchoilin maintains an intimate and spiritually immersive atmosphere. Visitors can quietly observe monks at work, admire the colorful murals and sacred statues, and learn about Tibetan-influenced Buddhist traditions. The monastery also hosts special ceremonies during Mongolian lunar festivals, making it an ideal stop for those wanting a deeper understanding of Mongolia’s religious culture.
