Description of location :
The Naidan Datsan base occupies land of the Myangad sum in Khovd province on the northern shore near the mid of Sunduil River. To the north is the mountain, Jantsant Ulaan Uul; to the south is Mandaltiin Ulaan Uul. Between is the Sunduil River. On the summit of Mandalt, there is a custom to worship nature by performing a ritual of Altain 13 purification.
