Just north of Ulaanbaatar, near Bornuur in Töv Province, Aglag Buteel Temple offers a quiet retreat from city life. Set in scenic mountains, this Buddhist complex combines art, spirituality, and nature in one peaceful spot.

Follow the forested trails around the temple on a 1–2 hour hike. Some sections climb gently, but the paths are easy to follow. Quick walkers can circle the loop in about an hour, while most visitors take 90–120 minutes to admire the stone sculptures, rock carvings, and serene surroundings.

The temple showcases the work of Mongolian artist and lama Purevbat, with symbolic artwork designed to inspire reflection. Between the sculptures and panoramic mountain views, you’ll find plenty of moments for calm, contemplation, and photography. Aglag Buteel is perfect for travellers seeking a mix of culture, nature, and spirituality off the beaten track.
