Shankh Monastery Overview

Founded in 1647 by Zanabazar, the first Jebtsundamba Khutuktu, it played a vital role in spreading Tibetan Buddhism in Mongolia. Once home to over 1,500 monks, the monastery was closed during Mongolia’s communist purges in the 1930s but later restored in the 1990s. Known for its beautiful architecture and sacred relics, Shankh Monastery remains an important spiritual site. Visitors can explore its prayer halls, witness Buddhist ceremonies, and experience the tranquil surroundings. It is best visited between May and September when the weather is favorable. While specific opening hours are not always listed, it is generally open during daylight hours. Travelers are encouraged to check with local guides for exact timings and ongoing religious activities before visiting.
