Ikh Gazar Chuluun Uul, located in Gobi-Ugtaal and Bayanjargalan soums of Dundgovi province, is the largest part of the Great Granite Region of Mongolia. It is one of the most beautiful places with its sharp peaks and remnants of cliffs.

Ulaan Tsutgalan waterfall in Uvurkhangai Province:
Bat-Ulzii soum of Uvurkhangai province has the largest waterfall in Mongolia, Ulaan Tsutgalan. The waterfall is about 5 meters wide, descending from a height of more than 20 meters, about 30 kilometers west of the soum center. Some people call it “Orkhon Waterfall”. But this is a misnomer. This is because the Khangai Mountains, such as the Khyatruun and Ulaan rivers, which originate from the Khyatruun and Ulaan rivers, formed the waterfall when they flowed into the Orkhon River. The Orkhon River flows through the gorge, which is about 20 meters high, about 50 kilometers from Undur Oyster to Ongotsot Gorge.
The waterfall was created when the Red River descended into this gorge. As the river receded, it eroded the bedrock and moved back about 100 meters away from the Orkhon River, creating a depression about 10 meters deep. In addition to Ulaan Tsutgalan, there are four or five large and small waterfalls in Bat-Ulzii soum of Uvurkhangai province, such as “Orkhon waterfall or small tributary”, “Tatuurin waterfall” and “Tsagaan gol waterfall”.

Later, in 1586-1674, he built three hundred churches and Rigsum Gomba churches. Luvsan-Odser, the third monk of Erdenezuu, erected a stupa at the four corners of the ruins of the old Takhai village wall, which became the foundation of the current wall fence. The monastery was destroyed in the war in the 1680s and was rebuilt in the early 18th century. Between 1701 and 1705, the temples of Ochirdari, the temple of Avid, and the Central Stupa were built.

During the renovation, the church buildings, built before 1796, were repaired, and 50 stupas were erected as a foundation for the ruins of the old Takhai village. Between 1802 and 1813, 56 more stupas and walls were built between the stupas built by philanthropists, nobles, bailiffs, monks, and people.
