Ruins of Ingo

A place that sends a chill down the spine of all Mongolians. During the Russian invasion, it witnessed one of the country´s greatest tragedies. In their desire to overthrow Buddhism and lamas, the Russians attacked the monastery, which we are told was amazing, and killed tens of lamas and reduced the place to ashes. Only the foundations remain today. It is a sacred place for the Mongols and the tragedy is still very much felt.
