Tuvkhen monastery is located on a densely forested and picturesque mountain – Tuvkhen mountain - at an elevation of 2000 meters above sea level. The temple is very similar to some extent to ‘Machu Picchu’, the holy ghost city located in the Andes mountain chain in Peru.

The first funerary monument is dedicated to Turkish Khaan Kultegin (685-731) and the other one to his brother Bilge Khaan.
