Buyandelgeruulekh Monastery
Буяндэлгэрүүлэх хийд
The main working monastery in Tsetserleg, where you can watch monks chant from the side. It is within walking distance of the museum.
Buyandelgeruulekh Monastery is the main active monastery in Tsetserleg. It sits a short distance northwest of the Zanabazar Museum and was rebuilt after Mongolia's religious revival in the 1990s. The compound is modest, but the main hall and the row of prayer wheels are richly colored. Ceremonies often take place in the morning, and visitors can watch quietly to get a sense of daily Mongolian Tibetan Buddhist life. Entry is free. Remove your hat before entering the hall, walk clockwise, and ask permission before taking photos. It pairs well with the museum and Galdan Zuu Temple for a half-day walking loop in town.
