General presentation
Amarbayasgalant et vallée d'Iven
Large isolated monastery and grassy hills offer a major heritage stage north of the central steppe.
To understand what Amarbayasgalant and Iven valley is, you must look at the side of Amarbayasgalant Monastery, Iven Valley and Mount Bürenkhaan. These places give you a view of a territory marked by heritage, countryside and mountain reliefs and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Monastery
Monastère d'Amarbayasgalant
This 18th-century ensemble retains a remarkable architecture of manchure inspiration at the bottom of a valley. The monastery is active; offices, photographs and private spaces require respect. A slow visit allows to go beyond the only points of view the best known.
Place indismissible
Vallée d'Iven
The valley surrounds the monastery with pastures, rounded hills and seasonal camps. One night on site allows you to see the site without reducing the journey to a round trip. The weather, altitude and condition of the tracks must be checked before departure.
Place indismissible
Mont Bürenkhaan
The hills to the north of the monastery open wide views of the Selenge steppe. The paths are not marked and must respect local herds and properties. The weather, altitude and condition of the tracks must be checked before departure.
