"Ongi Temple" Ongi by Willettsworld

Ongi is located in Dundgovi Aimag south of Ulaanbaatar and north of the Gobi Desert and is the location of the Ongi Temple. It was once a large monastery complex with about 1000 lamas but was destroyed during Stalin's purges in the 1930's. I came here on the 6th day of my 12-day tour around Mongolia and stayed in a ger camp just the other side of a hill from the temple.
