In 1936 there were 53 temples in Dundgovi; a year later the Mongolian KGB reduced nearly all to ash and rubble. In 1991 Dashgimpeliin Khiid was opened for the people of Mandalgov. Around 30 monks now serve the monastery, and services are held most days at around 10am and 2pm. It’s 300m northeast of Hotel Mandal.
