The monastery was founded in 1727 and was badly damaged in 1937 during the Stalinist terror in Mongolia, and several buildings were even destroyed. The complex remained closed until 1944, only then was there a conditional re-use of the temples that had been preserved. Until the end of the Mongolian People's Republic, the Gandan Monastery was the only monastery in all of Mongolia in which religious ceremonies - under the control of the secret police - were allowed to take place. But today it has become a peaceful and beloved place for Mongolians. It will always be something special.

Dadal is located in the Onon Valley, just south of the Onon-Balj National Park on the Russian-Mongolian border. Dadal and its surroundings form one of three Buryat soums in the north of the Khentii Aimag. The Buryats had already turned to a sedentary way of life before the Sovietization of Mongolia. They mostly live in small, self-built wooden houses and not in yurts. This makes the village very different from other Mongolian settlements.

In the adjacent Onon-Balj National Park, the two dominant ecosystems of Central Asia meet - the boreal coniferous forest and the vast steppes. This is the source of the enormous biodiversity that has earned the park its protected status.
