A Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Mörön, capital of Khövsgöl Province. It is a stop for visitors who fly into Mörön or change transport on the way.
Danzandarjaa Monastery is located within the city of Mörön, the capital of Khövsgöl Province. The original temple was destroyed during the religious purges of 1937. After 1990, it was rebuilt near the original site in Mongolian monastery style. The assembly hall houses Buddha statues and thangkas, and monks chant scriptures in the mornings. Mörön is the transport hub of the entire lake region, with daily flights to Ulaanbaatar and long-distance buses that take about 12–14 hours. Most visitors spend half a day here, visiting the monastery and buying supplies before heading on to Khatgal. Visitors must walk clockwise around the monastery.
