Khogno Khan Uul

Khogno Khan Mountain
Khogno Khan Mountain

central Mongolia

Khogno khaan National Park is located in Bulgan Province, 240 kilometers from Ulaanbaatar, and contains 46,990 hectares of land. This area is home to taiga and steppe flora, which represent two or three separate ecological zones. In 1997, the state declared this region to be protected. The ruins of Ovgon Khiid, built in 1660 after the former monastery was destroyed and the monks slain by the armies of Galdan Boshigt of Zungar, a competitor of Zanabazar’s, in 1640, are located at the southern foot of the mountain. The monastery reopened in 1992, with a couple of Ulaanbaatar monks present. The ruins of the previously destroyed monastery are a wonderful 45-minute hike up the valley to the right along a well-defined trail. The surrounding area is part of the Khogno Khan Natural Reserve, which covers 46,900 acres and is home to ibex, wolves, and a variety of hawks.
