Delger Choir Monastery is another notable location in the region, situated 16 km southwest of the Baga Gazariin Chuluu site, in the south of Delgertsogt Mountain. Zava Damdin (1867-1937), the philosopher of Ikh Khüree, established the monastery back in 1918. At that time, the monastery regulations and school were meaningful and expressive, with several schools of Buddhist philosophy, Medical science, and Astronomy, translation and printing sections, and 1000 lamas of 5 sectors.

The monastery was closed down during the 1937s repression period. However, in 1990, Luvsandarjaa and some old lamas rebuilt it to continue Buddhist activities. Zava Damdin was a famous personality whose books and properties still exist today. In honor of his 130th anniversary, a home museum was established in Dundgobi province in 1996.
