In 1792, it housed 62 temples because Mongolian lords tried to have temples with their own names inside the wall of the monastery as it is a symbol of high regards. Also in 1658, the biggest ger consists of 35 walls, 1700 long pole, and could contain 200 people was built at the center space of monastery wall. Today, there are monks still living inside the monastery.

About operator:
If you don't have time for a multi-day tour to the Gobi desert, try this one day "Semi-Gobi" experience instead. Instead of flying to the desert, take a short drive to Elsen Tasarkhai, a semi-desert region with mountains in the distance. After lunch, take a hike or take a horse or camel ride to the sand dunes. You'll also make a short visit to a local nomadic family to learn about their culture and traditions before heading back to Ulaanbaatar.
