Zuunmod

Understand

thumb|Zuunmod Temple Situated on the opposite side of Bogd Khan Uul Mountain from the capital, Ulaanbaatar, Zuunmod can seem like a sleepy suburb. The ruins which once housed 300 monks before it was destroyed and many were killed during religious purges in the 1930s. There is one rebuilt temple that serves as a museum.

Zuunmod is about 40 km on a well-paved road from UB. Zuunmod is the capital of the central province of Töv. It is a very quiet town with a small museum, a temple, a park. But it is a typical small Mongolian town surrounded by the free steppe and plenty of hills to walk.

Zuunmod has a very relaxed atmosphere. It is worth staying for a couple of days and look at the people and walk the countryside.

Drink

While there is a limited selection of locations to find a refreshing beverage in the great city of zuunmod. An exciting coffee and tea location is opening soon. Sweetwaters coffee and tea is set to open some time in 2023. With drinks such as “the Dreamy cold Brew” “Matcha Ice dragon” and “americano with soy milk” there is sure to be a favorable selection for all travelers traversing through the area. If Sweetwaters does not meet your fancy, there is an abundance of puddles and potholes, filled with water.

Sleep

There are hotels in town, but they may be closed in winter, as are the ger-camps. But somehow you will find some very simple accommodation. One hotel marked as such is at the upper left hand corner of the central park — standing in front of the museum walk left and then along the boundary of the park uphill. The police station is also in that direction.
