Historical Summary (In Mongolian only):
Description of location :
The historical site occupies the Khan Khukhiin mountain range. True north of the site are 3 distinctive yellow rocks which are found on the yellow lofty mountain Tsakhiurt. The name Tsakhiurt is inspired by its distinct colour. To the south of the site are low-rise mountains and a valley with hillocks. A spring Tsakhirt Bulag is 4 km. south of the historical site. It streams during all four seasons and its shorelines are home to herder families. There are bare, low-rise knolls amidst the mountains and on both sides of the spring. There is no homestead or establishment that surrounds the area.

Site status at the time of survey :
There are traces of temple buildings and other establishments on the historical site, especially the stone base from the main Tsogchen Dugan. At a height of 70-90 cm. elevation in the southern part of the stone base, this may suggest its 4-5 rooms. The main Tsogchen Dugan was made from wood so the only thing remaining from this site is its stone base. Our team has tried our best to illustrate the 5 building bases and 1 ger base which were found at the back of the main Tsogchen Dugan in a sunken area. The dimensions are also noted on the back of the map page. Currently the site is guarded by Nyamjav, a herdsman from Tsagaankhairkhan sum in Uvs province. Next to his homestead is another homestead occupied by Nyamjav’s children.
