Oct 26, 2008 Tovkhon Khiid is a recently rebuilt monastery located in Ovorkhangai Province in Central Mongolia. It is rarely visited by foreigners, but locals come here as several pilgrimage sites are found around the temple. The temple is nice, even if it's new, but the main reason to come here are the magnificent views you get, as the temple is perched high at the top of a mountain. You can see mountains and huge forests stretching for miles which are part of the Khangain Nuruu National Park, simply magical. It's quite hard to get to as the road up to the monastery is extremely steep in part. You need a 4WD and might have to walk some of the way. Related Links
