Deluun boldog birthplace of Chinggis Khaan

#historic

For his 800th birthday, a statue of Genghis Khan was erected in 1962 at Deluun Boldog; a place believed to be the great khan's birthplace, close to what is today Dadal soum, an attractive wooded area in North-west Khentii region.

The area contains trails and lakes for visitors as well as monuments where you can learn why this fierce warrior and a great leader is still revered today. Dadal Sum once housed one of three great lamaist temples consecrated to Genghis Khan, but which was razed in the 1930s. Now there are stone monuments to him erected in the surrounding beauty of the Mongolian countryside.

Travel tip:

If you are visiting Deluun Boldog, consider combining it with a visit to "Khukh Lake" ( Blue Lake ) at the same time.
